Portable battery for shoppers
Do you know that information counters or concierges of shopping centres will provide a portable charger for you? Ask, and you’ll be given!
You can borrow a portable charger from them and carry it around with you while you shop.
We’ve actually taken the time out to call the different information counters.
Read on for a list of shopping centres that will lend you a portable charger. All of them provide this service for free, however, some of them require an initial deposit.
Some also provide the specific cable for your device, so you don’t need to worry if you did not bring your cable.
