University of California, Los Angeles dorm residents will now be able to charge their phone batteries on the go with FuelRods kiosks. The kiosk dispenses portable charging devices to allow users to charge their devices when a wall outlet isn't available, according to a report by Daily Bruin.

The mobile charger, called a FuelRod, is powered by a battery, and when it is depleted they can either recharge it at the kiosk or plug it into a USB adaptor and into an outlet.

Currently there are five kiosks in residence halls, but they will not be available for use until the winter quarter. In the report, several students admitted they would not have much use for the kiosk as they already had mobile charges or they always remembered to charge their phones.
