In the fast-growing portable charging market, cable durability and brand visibility are key to scaling profitably. Here's how a European power bank rental startup improved user satisfaction and reduced equipment loss with our factory's custom cable solution.
Business Model: Power bank rental via app in airports and shopping centers
Region: Spain and France
Device Type: Portable charging stations with integrated cables
Challenge: Cable breakage, theft, and lack of branded recall
Generic cables prone to damage or detachment
No branding on accessories, reducing return rate
Inconsistent cable types (Lightning/Type-C) causing user frustration
We supplied extra-strong 3-in-1 cables (Type-C, iPhone, Micro) with flat nylon sheathing to resist public-use damage, reducing replacements by 70%.
The cable ends were customized with anti-pull locking joints to fit into their rental stations and prevent easy detachment or theft.
Each connector had their logo embedded via laser engraving — increasing return rates and reducing mistaken identity with other brands in public locations.
Metric | Before | After 3 Months |
---|---|---|
Monthly cable break rate | 12% | 3.2% |
Brand return recognition | Low | Improved via logo ID |
Customer complaints (connectors) | Frequent | Minimal |
Spare parts stock needed | High | Cut by 60% |
“Our previous suppliers couldn't handle the real-world stress of rentals. These cables have outlasted even our stations. The brand engraving also helps keep the ecosystem clean — users know it's ours.”
As the sharing economy scales up, choosing high-durability, branded accessories isn't just about longevity — it's about creating a better user loop and brand control. Our factory supports rental firms from cable customization to lifecycle planning.
