FuelRod Mobile Charging Service Now Available at Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tricopian, Inc., a San Diego, California-based developer of the innovative FuelRod™ mobile charging service for smartphones and tablets, announces that San Francisco's Salesforce Transit Center installs FuelRod's pioneering mobile charging kiosks to keep commuters charged on the go. Instead of being tethered to an electrical outlet to charge a mobile phone, transit center visitors can now recharge their Apple^® or Android^™ devices with a FuelRod from any of the six convenient SwapBox^® kiosks located throughout the center.

With FuelRod, commuters and visitors can shop, dine and relax at the modern, one million square foot transit center with a 5.4-acre rooftop park, without worrying about their mobile devices losing battery power. At the FuelRod SwapBox kiosks, customers purchase a FuelRod portable charging kit complete with connection cables and charge-up. By swapping a used FuelRod for a fully recharged one at any SwapBox in the FuelRod network, users have the convenience of keeping their devices powered on the go.

"We welcome FuelRod mobile charging service to the transit center and are happy to provide this service to our commuters and visitors," said Mark Zabaneh, Executive Director of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority.

With a growing network of kiosks that allow for the return and exchange of the charger, FuelRod enables people to stay mobile while they charge their phones. Moreover, FuelRod helps support the transit center's sustainability efforts by encouraging users to return or "Swap" used rods for fresh, fully-charged ones – keeping the batteries out of landfills.

"We're very pleased to bring our FuelRod program to the Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco," said Tricopian co-founder, Joe Yeagley. "Quick access to our FuelRods through our SwapBox kiosks give commuters an easy and cost-effective way of recharging their portable devices – reducing 'charging anxiety' and enhancing the Transit Center experience."

Commuters can purchase a FuelRod charging Kit that will substantially charge a standard iPhone or Android phone Once used or discharged, the FuelRod can be recharged using a USB connection or may be exchanged or "Swapped" for a modest fee at any FuelRod kiosk for a fresh – fully charged FuelRod. In addition, there is a current promotion for $2.00 off on new mobile charge kits or swaps at all SwapBox kiosks through December 3, 2019. Use Code: TURKEY19. To celebrate Black Friday, users can use Code: FRIDAY19 for $5.00 off from November 28 to November 29, 2019.
