Origin Energy has taken to the streets of Melbourne to help mobile phone users caught out with drained batteries.

Twice in the past week, Origin has turned up at the Victorian State Library to act as an energy saviour by handing out a limited number of # OriginGameOn phone chargers. These phone chargers allow people recharge their smartphone or tablet on the go.

The activity has been supported through Origin’s social media channels and through some search targeting – and the results so far have been many relieved and happy gamers, and positive sentiment on social media.
