Discgo is a portable device that charges at 1% a minute – the same rate as plugging into a wall – and can charge more than one device at a time.
The product can also be used by operators to advertise regular promotions, products and events within the cover screen of the discs themselves, or sell the space to sponsors.
To use, customers simply connect their device by cable into the Discgo unit. The system is charged on a bespoke docking station, which has the capacity to hold five discs, allowing 10 customers to charge at any given time. The discs take on average 40 minutes to charge in the docking station from 0-100%.

Ashley Sheppard, commercial director, Call Systems Technology, said: “Today we live in a world where for many, not having the means to charge your phone and stay connected can at the very worst instill panic.
"Initial trials of Discgo showed that customers stayed longer, typically for up to two more drinks, with many making regular returns, simply because they were continually charged and connected.”
