Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport:
- FuelRods kiosks on Concourses A, B, and C — a grab-and-go charger removes the need to hunt for an outlet
- Gate-seating wall outlets throughout Concourses A, B, and C
- FuelRods kiosk at baggage claim to grab a charged device before you even reach your gate
Dedicated charging stations
FuelRods reusable mobile-charger kiosks are on every concourse and at baggage claim — grab a pre-charged battery pack and exchange it at any FuelRod station in the terminal (or at another FuelRod location later in your trip).
Bring your own charging cable — dedicated kiosk stations at US airports provide the power outlet but not the cable. USB-A, USB-C, and standard 120 V outlets are the most common configurations.
Paid charging options
FuelRods charger rental carries a small fee unless exchanged at a FuelRod station; standard wall outlets at gates are free.. Free gate-area outlets are available throughout the terminal and are sufficient for most travelers — paid options are mainly useful if you need a secure place to leave your device unattended while it charges.
Pro Tip
BHM's airside area is small enough that hunting for an outlet rarely matters — grab a FuelRod at any concourse kiosk instead of camping at a gate outlet, and return or exchange it at your destination airport if it also has the network.
