Evaluation of five shared charging treasures： which one is the strongest？
No one expected that the wind of sharing came so quickly and so strongly, from renting a house, taking a taxi and renting a car, it suddenly swept into the field of charging treasures.
A few days ago, Lei Jun brought Xiaomi Technology, Zimi Technology and Shunwei Capital under his name to share the charging treasure.Just on the 10th of last month, Xiaodian Technology received 100 million RMB financing led by Tencent, plus incoming calls, Hi-power, ANKER Street Power, Didi Charging, Mobao Energy, etc., and there are dozens of shared charging brands.And almost all of them completed huge financing at the same time, and the war of attacking the city and plundering the land was imminent.
Time seems to be back in 2015. After five years of fighting with each other, Meituan and Dianping finally merged, and Didi and Uber also came together hand in hand.
Nowadays, the prospect of shared charging treasure is not clear, and the involvement of many capitals will inevitably accelerate the homogenization of shared charging treasure, and finally inevitably lead to the road of merger.Whoever can provide better service will have a greater chance to stay.
The author deeply visited the shared charging treasures in Shenzhen and experienced the differences in the use of shared charging treasures by various brands. Next, we will make a simple comparison from the aspects of on-site rental experience and use experience.
I. Lending and repayment process and charges
In terms of service convenience, all shared charging treasure operators provide map location services, which are generally distributed in shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, bars and other places with high traffic. Users can accurately find the nearest rental point according to the positioning.
Each rental terminal has different forms. In contrast, the cloud rental terminal is very low in appearance and function. But it is also the only platform that can use charging treasure without paying a deposit.
As far as the use fee is concerned, cloud rental electricity is the most grounded, providing free rental service within 3 hours and providing free charging lines;
The charging standards of other families are basically the same. ANKER Street Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charging Bar support two platforms: WeChat and Alipay.
Call, cloud charge, sesame credit over 600 points can be exempted from deposit.
Second, the appearance
First of all, it may be to consider the problem of achieving operating costs. These five charging treasures are all made of plastic shells, and they all look relatively cheap.
Among them, ANKER Street Electric is the smallest, easy to hold, and has its own charging short line; The cloud charging bar is the largest in size, and its surface is brushed with stripes, and it also comes with a charging short line;
The design of cloud rental electricity is feminine, and the digital panel is matched with a slim body, giving people a feeling of fragility;
The design style of AUO, which adopts two-stage shell and the edges are not chamfered, is full of masculinity;
In contrast, Caller Technology does not seem to have its own unique appearance characteristics.
Five shared charging treasures are highly contrasted. From left to right, it is ANKER Street Power, Friends Power, Cloud Rent Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charge Bar.

Width comparison of five shared charging treasures. From left to right, it is ANKER Street Power, Friends Power, Cloud Rent Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charge Bar.
At first glance, these five shared charging treasures are similar to the common charging treasures on the market, but on closer inspection, you will find that there will be metal contact designs at the bottom of the shared charging treasure, ranging from 3 to 5.
This is also their input interface when charging, which is used with the metal contacts on their respective rental machines, avoiding the process of plugging and unplugging the traditional interface and being more convenient to use. Among them, the cloud charging bar and the cloud renting electricity have contacts at both ends, so the advantage of this design is that there is no need to consider the direction when returning the charging treasure.
Third, the parameters and hardware configuration
When you need to rent a charging treasure when your mobile phone is out of power and you don’t have your own power supply, I believe more people are interested in the performance rather than the appearance of the charging treasure. Most people don’t like things that are "shiny on the surface of donkey eggs". After all, emergency use pays attention to practicality and reliability. Only when it meets the requirements of consumers can it really be regarded as a conscience product.
Generally speaking, when we buy a charging treasure, the parameters we usually consider are capacity and input and output power. Of course, for some people, appearance is also indispensable. But for the shared power supply treasure, the most important thing is the capacity and output power, and the capacity is related to whether the receiving equipment can be filled; The output power determines the charging time.
Only when both meet the requirements can users get a better experience. The author made a simple statistics on the nominal parameters of these five shared charging treasures. By comparison, it is found that the capacity of each charging treasure is not large, and the smallest one is only 4000mAh. However, it is not a big problem to supply short-term power to ordinary mobile phones, tablets and other devices when fully charged.
What makes people vomit is their output power. The highest cloud charging bar is 5V2.4A, and the rest is 5V2.1A.. In such a hot background of fast charging industry, as a shared resource, fast charging is not supported, which is contrary to the development trend.Of course, from the operator’s point of view, perhaps it is hoped that the slower the user charges, the better, so that more billing time can be won. After all, the service is provided free of charge within one hour.
In terms of hardware configuration, we only consider the input and output ports and data lines here. In contrast, the cloud charging bar has the best hardware configuration, and this one can supply power to two devices at the same time, but it needs to bring its own charging cable.
butThe spit point here is the friend call and the incoming call, which can be summed up in one sentence: "If you borrow my charging treasure, you must buy my line." In an emergency, most consumers can only be wronged and perfect for this kind of marketing method with strong buying and selling colors.
Moreover, the quality of 10RMB／/charging line is unknown, which makes people think that "I rent a charging treasure, but I earn money from the charging line!"
IV. Measured Output Performance
After talking about the nominal parameters and configuration, let’s test the actual data in the above table. Here, the professional test instrument POWER-Z is used.
After a simple test of the tablet and several mobile phones, it is found that all the shared charging treasures can supply low power to the test equipment. Looking at such test results, do you want to cry when you use a small partner who supports fast charging equipment? The following are the photos of the field measurement for your reference.
