Coin Operated Mobile Phone Charger

My hand phone run out of battery since this afternoon. Was watching Wasabi Mon Armour just now and I saw a coin operated mobile phone charger kiosk. Good to have such kiosk around when your phone battery runs out. But it is not something that people needs it every now and then. If your phone takes an hour to charge, does that mean that you will need to wait for an hour at the kiosk ? It will be good if there is a number operated lock when you place the phone in to charge. With such feature you can just leave the phone there and goes for shopping and when you are done just collect the phone from the kiosk.

The Yuki Charger is a Coin operated public mobile phone charger.
Yuki is a low cost, multi-functional and “highly intelligent” public coin-operated mobile phone charger says the manufacturers web site.

As I am writing this, I am ask myself: is there an actual market for this device? My mobile phone goes at least 2 days without charging. Additionally my charger is small and i have it in my bag when i am traveling.

Anyway, the Yuki Charger is compatible to most mobile phone brands and models. It comes with 10 different charger plugs. The Kiosk also features a display to run commercials. While charging users can use their phones. Yuki comes with a UV sanitizer compartment that kills germs and bacteria while battery charging is in progress.
