Rental Terms

Effective October 31, 2026

$5 per hour, charged for each hour or part of an hour.
$40 maximum per rental. You never pay more than $40 for one rental.
Return within 2 days (48 hours). If the battery isn't back by then, the rental ends, you're charged $40, and the battery is yours to keep.
Pay with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the card reader on the station, or by scanning the code on the station with your phone.

By tapping your card or phone, or paying on chargeamped.com, to rent a battery, you agree to these terms.

Pricing and payment

Card hold. When you tap to rent, we place a temporary hold of $40 on your card. A hold is not a charge.
Charge on return. When you return the battery, we charge only the time you used, at $5 for each hour or part of an hour, and release the rest of the hold. Your bank may take a few business days to clear it.
Maximum. Charges stop at $40 per rental, however long you keep the battery.
Not returned in 2 days. After 48 hours, we charge the full $40 and the rental is closed.
Receipts. The charge shows on your card statement as AMPED. For an itemized receipt, email support@chargeamped.com.

Prices include any applicable sales tax. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

Where to return. Return the battery to the station you rented it from, or to any AMPED station once more locations are listed on this site.
How to return. Push the battery fully into an empty slot until it clicks. The rental ends when the station confirms the return.
Station full or not working? Email support@chargeamped.com before the 2-day limit and we'll sort it out with no extra charge.
Lost, stolen or not returned. You're charged $40 and the battery is yours. There are no further fees.
Damage. Don't open, puncture, get wet or heat the battery. If it's returned badly damaged on purpose, we may charge up to $40.
Safety. Stop using the battery if it swells, gets very hot, smells or smokes, and contact us right away.

Refunds. If a battery didn't work, the station didn't release one, or you were charged in error, contact us within 30 days. We'll refund the charge after checking the station record.
Disputes. Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. Most problems are fixed the same day.
Who can rent. You must be 18 or older, or have permission from a parent or guardian, and use a payment card you're allowed to use.
Our liability. Batteries are provided as-is. We aren't responsible for lost data or for a phone that doesn't fully charge. Our total liability is limited to what you paid for the rental.
Privacy. We keep only what we need to run the rental: the time, station, amount and the last four digits of your card. We don't sell your information.
Changes. We may update these terms. The version posted here applies to rentals started after the date at the top.
