The four questions everyone asks.
After 24h continuous rental the day-cap converts to a $35 one-time fee. You keep the powerbank. Return it any time — the fee is refunded if the unit is undamaged.
Same account, same wallet — return it at any SparqX station in any country. Billing is converted to your home currency at the daily FX rate.
