Laptop & Device Charging Checkout
Hello!
We are looking to offer some portable device charging options, with checkout at our front desk. I’m wondering if anyone has used a product like the linked one below. We do not want a standalone unit for many reasons, and would like to manage it from our Information Desk with tap card checkouts through a checkout system we already have for game equipment.
We need the chargers to be easy to carry, store and charge, and they need to be able to charge a phone, tablet or laptop.
We are looking for something like this, but would like to see if anyone has other suggestions.
Thanks!

I like that Idea. I’ll also be interested to see what others think.

I really like what you’re looking at, it looks convenient to have them all charging on a central dock. We’ve been signing out RAV Power Banks. They come in a case with a charging cable. Naturally we have had some of the chargers not come back and some of the cases go missing. But otherwise the power bank has been great.

Hi Kourtney,
I know you might have made a decision on these already but in case you haven’t I wanted to share that we have them in our basic needs center. They are very easy to use and the check out process we have in place works as we require the students to swap ID for charger. The devices hold a charge for up to 3 hours per device. Great option to use rather than running wires or cords across the floor. They are an alternative to running wiring under floors or in concrete and it saved us a bunch of money here for our project.
