Engineering:ChargeBox
A ChargeBox is a kiosk designed for charging a range of small devices including mobile phones, PDAs, iPods, PSPs, and other small, mobile electronics. It was first introduced in 2005.
They are usually located in public locations such as hotels, shopping centres and event spaces.
Kiosks usually charge a small fee for charging and are secure, allowing the devices owner to charge and collect at their convenience.
ChargeBox is funded by the integrated advertising space on its kiosks.
