About the Novi
So what exactly is the Novi Charging Station?
The Novi is a portable charging station. It simultaneously charges 8 Novi Pods at once, meaning you’ll always have a spare power bank to use at home, or give to a guest in your restaurant, bar or hotel. Each Novi Pod has two in-built cables – one micro USB, and one Apple Lightning cable (charges iPhones 5+).
Can I charge Novi Pods without the Novi Dock?
You must have a Novi Dock to charge Novi Pods. This is to minimise theft for businesses, since the pod will be rendered useless without the dock to charge it. Each Pod charges via Luna Pulse Technology, meaning it charges on direct contact with the base. No additional cables are required for charging.
How is this different from a charging station?
Typical charging stations require people to stand next to them, or for people to leave their devices inside in order to charge. The Novi allows people the freedom to move around whilst charging.
Imagine being in a bar, and your friend is late. Your phone is out of battery, so you’ve asked the bar tender to keep it behind the bar to charge. Without having your phone on you, you don’t know that your friend is late, and you’ll inevitably ask the bartender several times if you can check your phone.
With the Novi, you can just sit at your table and browse your phone while you wait. You can keep up to date with any messages or alerts, as well as keep yourself entertained while you wait for your friend to arrive.
The Novi Dock Charger is an effective solution to an increasing problem. Restaurants and bars also don’t want the liability of keeping multiple phones safely, nor do they want to use up all their plug sockets or keep twenty cables somewhere in case someone needs to charge their phone.
What type of phones does the Novi support?
Each Novi Pod has a Micro USB and Apple Lightning Cable (iPhone 5+) built inside. These two cables charge most mobile phones and electronic devices using Micro-USB
If you would like to purchase an adaptor for iPhone 4’s, or a mini-usb connector, we also offer these.

Should the Novi Dock be switched off?
The Novi Dock can be left on at all times. In addition to this, the Novi Pod has in-built over charge protection, to ensure the maximum life cycle for each Pod.
Is the Novi supported in my country?
Absolutely. The Novi Dock can be used between 100 – 240 volts, meaning it will work in any country.
As long as you place the correct country into your order, or alert us to which plug you need, we’ll automatically modify this based on your geo.
What is the capacity of the batteries?
We offer both 2,600 mAh and 3,000 mAh battery sizes.
What is the life cycle of each battery?
We use premium industrial LG batteries, with a life span of more than 500 cycles. Most power banks in the market have the lifespan of around 200 to 500 cycles.
How many times can phones be recharged by the batteries?
This will depend on the phone model and capacity of the battery – for example the iPhone 7 has a battery size of 1960 mAh, and our battery has either 2600 mAh or 3000 mAh. This means the iPhone can be fully charged 1 to 1.5 times.
How fast can each Novi Pod charge a phone?
As fast as it can possibly charge without experiencing issues with heat or danger. Depending on the phone model and its battery capacity, a full 100% charge takes around 1.5 hours. We designed our power bank to produce the maximum output at 5V / 2.1A to ensure the fastest charge, whilst adhering to international safety standards and our global certifications.
