Battery Kiosks

Temple University provides portable battery units—called power banks—through an automated kiosk system known as Battery Share. These devices can be borrowed free of charge and are designed to help you charge your laptop or mobile devices while on campus.

This page provides location-specific guidance for Paley Hall. For full program details, please visit the official Battery Share.
