Overview

I still remember the first time my phone gasped to 2% right as the TransJakarta bus pulled in. No outlet in sight, notifications piling up, and that creeping dread of going off-grid. If this sounds familiar, ReCharge’s expansion will feel like a small everyday miracle. The app-based power bank rental service now boasts 1,000+ ReCharge Stations across Greater Jakarta and beyond—so you can keep moving and keep creating without babysitting your battery.

Where You’ll Find It

ReCharge is meeting people where the action is. You’ll spot their machines at:

• 35 TransJakarta shelters
• 23 KRL stations along the Jakarta Kota–Bogor line
• 13 MRT Jakarta stations

Beyond the main corridors, stations are rolling out across Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) and branching into Bandung and Yogyakarta. The idea is simple: make power as accessible as public transport.

Why This Matters Now

Commuter life is humming again. With ridership up across KRL, MRT Jakarta, and TransJakarta, ReCharge is planting stations in strategic spots to make pick-up-and-go power a habit, not a hunt. As CEO Dick Listijono puts it, the service isn’t just a commuter convenience—it’s a gentle nudge for local travel, so you can capture the trip instead of rationing your screen time.

A Quick Look at the Hardware

ReCharge Stations come in three sizes so venues can match foot traffic and floor space:

• Small: 8–16 slots; a fit for cafes, salons, minimarts, gyms, lounges
• Medium: 16 slots; great for supermarkets, karaoke spots, offices, coworking
• Large: 30–50 slots; built for malls, stations, halls, hospitals, hotel lobbies

Each power bank packs 5,000 mAh—enough for a solid top-up on modern phones—and supports Lightning (iOS), Micro USB, and USB-C. Fast Charging is baked in. The units are lightweight (135 × 76 × 16 mm), and recharging is locked to the station to keep them healthy and consistent.

How to Rent in Under a Minute

• Download the ReCharge app on Google Play or the App Store
• Top up your ReCharge balance via your favorite cashless options (ShopeePay, LinkAja, GoPay, OVO, DANA, BNI/BCA virtual accounts, Bank Mega, ATM Mandiri, Permata, ATM Bersama, or credit card)
• Scan the QR code on the station (on-screen for large units; on-machine for small/medium)
• Pick your cable type (Lightning, Micro USB, or USB-C)
• Grab the ejected power bank and you’re off

Return it to any station—yes, any. Rent at Point A, drop at Point B. That’s the whole point.

Pricing That Doesn’t Sting

• 1–2 hours: Rp2.000/hour
• 3–4 hours: Rp4.000/hour
• 24 hours: Rp30.000 flat

New users get 1 hour free with no minimum top-up. Frequent renter? Ten transactions earn you a Rp10,000 voucher for select F&B partners like HokBen, Klenger Burger, and Salad Point. Ride a lot of transit? Do five trips via public transport locations and you’re in on the deal too. Promotions are time-limited, so peek in-app for current details.

Why It’s Kinda Eco-Smart

Renting beats hoarding. Shared power banks mean fewer cheap, disposable units ending up as e-waste. When you can pick up and return anywhere, you’re less tempted to buy yet another emergency brick you’ll forget to charge.

Where It Pops Up Most

If you’re a mall-hopper or office runner, chances are you’ve already seen ReCharge. Look for stations at Pondok Indah Mall, Central Park, Grand Indonesia, Pacific Place, PIK Avenue, Mall Kelapa Gading, Bintaro Jaya Xchange, Supermall Karawaci, Botani Square Bogor, and a growing list of offices, schools, hospitals, meeting halls, and entertainment venues.

Who’s Using It

The early adopter club is a colorful bunch: ride-hailing drivers, office workers trying to make it through back-to-back calls, and content-savvy youths who don’t want their Stories to die mid-shot. ReCharge is also wooing K-pop fans, gamers, and high-mobility pros—basically anyone who lives on their phone.

The Hashtag With a Mission

Through #ReChargeHarimu, the company is nudging us to pack our days with energy—literally and figuratively. The campaign lives across web and social, but the heart of it is physical: more stations in more places so we can work, commute, and play without low-battery anxiety.

What’s Next

ReCharge is focused on two tracks: welcoming first-time renters and onboarding more venue partners—especially in retail and F&B—across Jabodetabek, Bandung, and Yogyakarta. More dots on the map, fewer dead phones on the go. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
