A power bank rental station for your venue
Thinking about a power bank rental station for your restaurant, bar, hotel or event? Here are answers to the most common questions. A short request is all it takes to have your venue checked.
How much does a power bank station cost for my venue?
In shortAs a NordicPower venue, your only cost is a small amount of electricity, a few euros per month. We set up the station, and rental and payment run automatically on the device. On top of that, you get a share of the rentals at your station.
What you pay and what you don’t:
- Electricity: a few euros per month to run the station.
- Station: we set it up. You only provide space and a power outlet.
- Operation: rental, payment and return run at the station, your staff don’t handle payments.
- Revenue share: you earn from the rentals at your station.
A request is non-binding and takes only a few minutes. We check your venue and get back to you with a proposal.
Can you make money with a power bank rental station?
In shortYes. As a venue, you receive a share of the rentals at your NordicPower station. We set the share per venue, for example based on location and number of guests. Your only cost is electricity, a few euros per month.
With power bank rental stations, two sides usually earn: the operator, who provides devices, power banks and billing, and the venue, which provides the space. At NordicPower, the venue gets a share of the rentals at its station.
How much it adds up to depends on how many guests rent a power bank. Places where people stay longer and in larger numbers, such as bars, clubs, hotels or events, are especially suitable.
Is a power bank station worth it for my business?
In shortA power bank station is most worthwhile where guests stay a while and need their phones: bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels and events. It is an extra service, and with NordicPower you earn a share of the rentals. Your only cost is a few euros of electricity per month.
What matters:
- Guest numbers and length of stay: the more guests stay longer, the more often power banks are rented.
- Demand: batteries run low especially in the evening, at events and among tourists.
- Effort: with NordicPower, we take care of the station, technology and maintenance.
We can’t promise fixed income because it depends on your venue. Get in touch and we’ll assess together whether your location is a good fit.
Can I rent or buy a power bank station?
In shortWith NordicPower you neither buy nor rent the station. We set it up and run it, you provide the space and the power. The advantage: rental, payment and returns run through our system, and guests can return power banks to any NordicPower station.
If you buy a power bank station yourself, you have to handle the device, power banks, payments, software and maintenance. Guests can then only return the power bank to your station.
With NordicPower it’s different:
- Return anywhere: guests can also return the power bank to other NordicPower stations.
- Automated: rental, payment and return run at the station.
- One point of contact: NordicPower handles technology and maintenance.
How much space and power does a station need?
In shortEvery NordicPower station only needs a standard power outlet nearby. The space depends on the size: the 12-slot station sits on a counter or bar, the 24-slot station is slim and needs little floor space, and the 48-slot station is free-standing for large events.
The three sizes at a glance:
- 12-slot station: for counters, bars, sideboards or reception desks. No floor space needed.
- 24-slot station: slim and tall, for smaller events and tight spaces.
- 48-slot station: free-standing with a large screen, for large events, trade fairs and stadiums.
Power: a power outlet nearby is all it needs. A photo of the planned spot helps us suggest the right station.
Who maintains the station?
In shortNordicPower takes care of maintenance, technology and replacements. Power banks recharge automatically inside the station as soon as they are returned. Day to day, your team has nothing to do except keep the station accessible and plugged in.
What happens during operation:
- Charging: returned power banks charge automatically in their slots.
- Rental and payment: run directly at the station, without your staff.
- Maintenance: handled by NordicPower.

What if power banks are stolen?
In shortEvery rental is linked to the card of the person renting. If a power bank isn’t returned within 24 hours, the €30 deposit is kept. NordicPower takes care of damage or theft caused by guests. The venue is only liable if it damages the station itself.
How we handle losses:
- Linked payment: every rental starts with a card at the terminal.
- Deposit: after 24 hours without a return, €30 are kept.
- Guests: if a guest damages or takes something, NordicPower deals with it.
- Venue: if you or your staff damage the station, you are liable.
Can I use the station’s screen for my own promotions?
In shortThe station screens show NordicPower content and partner advertising. Your own content as a venue, such as a daily special or an event, is possible by arrangement with NordicPower.
What can appear on the screen:
- Rental instructions: how the station works.
- Partner advertising: campaigns from brands and businesses, see DOOH advertising.
- Your own content: by arrangement with NordicPower.
The 48-slot station has the largest screen and is especially suited to events with sponsors.
Which venues are a good fit for a station?
In shortA station suits any place where people stay for a while and need their phone: restaurants, cafés, bars, clubs and hotels, as well as events, festivals, trade fairs and stadiums. Restaurants and hotels usually get the 12-slot station, smaller events the 24-slot and large events the 48-slot station.
Our recommendation by venue:
- Restaurant & café: 12-slot station on a counter or sideboard.
- Bar, club & hotel: 12-slot station on the bar or reception desk.
- Smaller events: 24-slot station, slim and space-saving.
- Events, trade fairs & stadiums: 48-slot station with a large screen.
We make the final choice together after checking your venue.
How quickly can a station be installed?
In shortFrom request to installation it takes one to seven days depending on the venue, and also on which stations are currently in stock. Installation itself is quick because the station only needs a power outlet.
The process in three steps:
- Short request: venue name, location, type of venue and contact details are enough. A photo of the spot helps.
- Check: we review the location and requirements.
- Agree and install: we agree on the station and next steps and set it up.
For events, plan enough lead time and mention the date in your request to info@nordicpower.app.
