The workflow for sharing power banks:

Charging: Shared power banks typically use power adapters or photovoltaic panels to charge and store electricity in internal lithium-ion batteries. The charging time and method can be determined based on the specific device design and requirements.

Storage: After charging is completed, electrical energy is stored in the battery of the power bank. The battery capacity of the power bank is usually specified in milliampere hours (mAh), indicating how much electrical energy it can provide for users to use.

Rental: When users need to charge, they can download the mobile application of the shared power bank, search for nearby shared power banks in the application, and book a successful one. After booking, users can go to the designated location to obtain the power bank.

Usage: After obtaining the power bank, users can connect it to their mobile device to charge the device. Shared power banks are usually equipped with multiple charging cables to accommodate different types of device interfaces.

Return: After the user has used the shared power bank, they can return it to a designated location or another place that the shared power bank device can accept, so that the next user can use it. After return, the power bank will continue to provide charging for other users.
