SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Hancock International Airport says it has installed FuelRod kiosks throughout the terminal.
The airport describes FuelRods as a “reusable, portable charging system that allows you to fuel (charge) your mobile device on the go, and then recharge or swap for a fresh one.”
The machines are located at three post-security locations, Hancock International said in a news release issued Wednesday. They’re located near the Dunkin Donuts kiosk, in the north concourse near Gate 21, and in the south concourse near Gate 3.
The cost of the device is $20, and the kiosks accept only credit cards, the airport said.
The device includes adapters for both Android and Apple devices that purchasers can keep, at no additional charge.
It’ll provide up to eight hours of talk time on a smart phone or nearly four hours of usage on a tablet, according to the release.
They are rechargeable with any USB adaptor or, can be swapped out for no charge at any FuelRod Swapbox kiosk.
FuelRod Swapbox kiosks are located at a growing number of locations in the U.S. and Europe, including many airports, Hancock said.
San Diego, California–based Tricopian, LLC, is the developer of the FuelRod mobile-charging service.
