Train stations and airports are constantly filled with users charging their smartphones at the limited outlets available, so Amtrak and MobileQubes will now offer charging battery packs for rental.
Priced at $4.99 for 24 hours, the battery pack rentals provide users with the ability to borrow a charger whilst traveling rather than searching for a free outlet or carrying their own.
The partnership between Amtrak and MobileQubes would allow users to rent as they desire and return to a kiosk when they're done. Each Qube is capable of charging the average smartphone once.
The charging battery packs made by MobileQubes are available for purchase for $44.99 if the user would like to buy it outright. The MobileQube stations can be found in many Amtrak train stations across the United States.
