Major Evolution of CHARGESPOT

The popular mobile battery sharing service, CHARGESPOT™, run by Japan's INFORICH Co., Ltd. based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to launch a new fast-charging battery domestically starting in June 2026. This exciting upgrade is designed to meet the increasing demand for efficient charging solutions while maintaining existing pricing.

Enhanced Features of the New Battery

The new battery boasts a substantial capacity increase to 8,000mAh, allowing for maximum fast-charging speeds of approximately 20W thanks to its compliance with the USB PD and PPS standards. Remarkably, despite these significant improvements, the usage fee will remain the same as that of the conventional models.

Background of Development

With regulations implemented by the European Union mandating the standardization of smartphone charging ports to USB Type-C from 2024, the global transition towards high-speed charging standards like USB PD and PPS is gaining momentum. In addition to this regulatory push, the rapid advancement of smartphones, enhanced app functionalities, and longer device replacement cycles have all contributed to an increased battery consumption rate among users. As such, there's an unprecedented demand in the market for quick and efficient charging solutions.

INFORICH has proactively identified these evolving market conditions and user needs, leading to the development of a fast-charging battery that ensures speed and efficiency. Starting in January 2026, this new product will roll out in China, followed by Hong Kong and Australia, before landing in Japan in June 2026. The company plans to expand availability based on market demand going forward.
