Charging your phone at ATL: the FuelRod kiosks and where else to look
ATL lists four FuelRod kiosks, all open 24 hours, and no list of phone outlets. Which concourses have none, and which shops to try there.
The airport lists four FuelRod kiosks, all open 24 hours, and none on Concourse T, A, B, D or F or in the Domestic Terminal. It doesn’t publish a list of phone outlets or charging seats. One ATL story does say the high-top tables at Grindhouse Burgers on Concourse T have outlets. Everywhere else on those concourses, buy a charger or cable at one of the shops the airport’s terminal map tags for them.
How the kiosks work
Each FuelRod kiosk hands out a portable charging unit. ATL’s listing says to swipe a credit card or use the FuelRod app. It doesn’t give a price or rental terms. If you need a connection rather than a charge, our wi-fi page covers ATL’s free network.
What’s near you on each concourse?
The airport’s terminal map tags what each shop sells, and the parentheses in the table give its tags for chargers, cables and power banks.

Can you charge in a lounge?
The airport’s terminal map tags a charging station at the Delta Sky Clubs on Concourses T and A through F, at the Admirals Club, near Gate T11 on the map and across from Gate T10 on ATL’s amenities page, at the United Club on T, at The Club at ATL on Concourse F, Level 2, and at The Centurion Lounge on E. You don’t need a membership for The Club at ATL, whatever the airline, and our lounges page lists who gets into the others. Poppin, a Priority Pass perk on Concourse F, Level 2, describes itself as a place to charge your phone.
