Sounds like a great product, but I am loving that my Whill Ci power chair has a USB port. It doesn’t seem to drain the chair battery either.
Looks like Kenny the Pirate has a list. The list is from June of 2017, so not sure if its still up to date. At least some of them are correct because we used several of the listed locations in October of 2018. I didn't see Coronado Springs on his list, but I know there was at least one exchange machine there.

You're welcome!
I also found this list on Disney website. Guessing it might be more up to date.

I tried searching the FuelRod mobile website for kiosk locations at WDW but came up empty (listed Discovery Cove and other offsite locations but no WDW). Anyone have a link to WDW locations?
If you open your My Disney Experience App and click on the map at the top you will see a drop-down menu. Click "Guest Services" and anywhere on the map that you see a half-filled battery icon is where you can find either a Fuelrod kiosk or charging station. It will give you the specifics in the description.
They work great for small fans, either to power them directly or to charge them up. We use it to help give our phones a boost when using them to film or if they drain quicker because of the heat. We swap it out a couple of times a day and the kids really enjoy doing it lol....
Just remember that some fans with rechargeable batteries don't run on full power when being charged, so there may be a drop in perceived fan speed depending on the level you have it set to.
It's not cheap, but the convenience of having it swapped out for a full one is great then you can take it home and charge it yourself.[/QUOTE
thanks for reply...I am curious if they fit into a small personal fan...I am going in Sept and I was going to buy a small fan and it seemed it would be a good thing to try....I have a larger charger(solar powered) but it's kinda heavy to hold all day to use with the fan

keeping a device connected to it all day, or using it to charge something bigger (like an iPad or a small laptop) will impact your Whill's battery.
I'll offer a dissenting view -- Fuel Rods are overpriced junk. They're only ~1,000mAh in capacity.
For ~$20-30, you can get a proper battery pack such as the Anker 10,000mAh battery pack. Sometimes you can pick up their 3500mAh pack for $13. I believe all of the Anker packs have some form of fuel gauge on them so you know how much is left in them.
We carry the Anker Powercore II 6700mAh ($25) battery packs, which can be charged in ~2-3 hrs and still fit in a pocket. Even after recharging my phone there's still plenty of power left in the battery pack, so I'm still good for another day even if I forget to charge it. It charges quick enough that if I suddenly realized that I didn't charge it overnight, in the time it takes to get showered & dressed, I could easily put on one day's worth of charge on it.
I do have some of their big packs (26,800mAh) which are great for those 14-18 hour flights or going into areas where I won't be near an outlet for an extended period of time (ie: hurricanes/the boonies), BUT they're heavy and big. Well-worth it if you need it.
If the kiosk isn't working, call the toll free number on the front of the machine, they will take care of you. We actually went to exchange a fuel rod at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park and it refused to spit out a replacement, called them and they had the machine issue a brand new kit because apparently the exchange side was jammed. Took about 45 seconds to get through and maybe another 45 seconds for them to fix it.WHen we were at WDW in April, lot of the fuel rod kiosks were not working.

Yeah, Dis ey doesn't allow them to publish the locations on their website for some reason.I tried searching the FuelRod mobile website for kiosk locations at WDW but came up empty (listed Discovery Cove and other offsite locations but no WDW). Anyone have a link to WDW locations?
