One of the companies, Xiaodian, raised about $50 million in series B funding just yesterday.
The company's app allows users to search for its power outlets available in 1,000 locations across Beijing, China's capital.
Users scan a QR code on WeChat, the country's largest messenger app, and can charge their phones for just 1 yuan ($0.14) per hour. The funds get deducted from the user's WeChat or Alipay digital wallets.
Another service called Ankerbox, by Shenzhen-based Anker, rents out portable chargers.
The company has launched a trial service in Seattle, charging $1.99 per day for a powerbank you can take with you.

In an interview with Shanghai-based news outlet Interface, venture capitalist Chen Hongliang said that consumer habits have changed with the rise of the sharing economy.
"We use bike-sharing services because it provides for some convenience. People used to buy products, now they want a service," Chen said. His Vision+ Capital pumped 100 million yuan ($14 million) in Xiaodian's April series A funding round.
"People used to think that you had to buy a bicycle if you needed one; now their views have changed. Today, people think that they need to bring a portable charger out with them. That might change with power bank-sharing."
