The mobile battery rental service ‘CHARGESPOT’, operated by INFORICH, has been involved in both environmental and public safety developments in Japan.

Following reports on social media, a significant number of lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries from the service were discovered illegally dumped in a river. INFORICH coordinated with police to recover the units, though the motivation for the large-scale disposal remains a concern.

Separately, the company has launched a campaign for Disaster Prevention Month in September. The initiative offers free usage coupons to encourage app downloads and familiarity with the service. INFORICH positions CHARGESPOT as disaster prevention infrastructure, noting that the service provides free rentals for less than 48 hours during large-scale emergencies to maintain communication and access to evacuation information.
