Despite the efforts of Apple trying to reduce the battery consumption of its devices in each new version of iOS that it launches on the market, battery is still one of the problems of all devices, regardless of the battery capacity, since the more mAh it has, the more we will use the device with the consequent battery consumption and the possibility of facing the problem of running out of battery.
If we usually leave the house with our Lightning cable every day, in case we have problems with the battery of our device, it is likely that at some point it has crossed your mind that already there should be a cable on the market with a built-in battery That allows us to recharge the mobile when we have the cable but not where to connect it.
Like almost everything in this life, a cable with a Lightning connection and a battery is also invented. We are talking about the manufacturer Jackery. Jewel is the name of this device, a Lightning cable with a built-in battery that in addition to allowing us to charge the mobile allows us to recharge the battery of our iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, although of course and due to its size with obvious limitations.
Jewel offers us a cable one meter long, with an integrated 450 mAh battery, that allows us, for example, to charge the iPhone 6s up to 26% of its capacity. However, if we use it to charge our iPhone 6s Plus, we will only get an extra 16% battery. Like most Lightning cables, Jewel offers us 1 amp to be able to charge our device from any charger or to transfer information from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a PC or Mac.
In addition, Jewel owns an integrated led that shows us the status of the battery as well as the charge. When the device is charging, the integrated LED flashes in different colors depending on the charge level: red, green and blue. By pressing the button that integrates the device, we can also know the Jewel charge level at any time. When the battery has been fully charged, the led stops flashing so that we can disconnect it and make use of it.
The price of this cable is $ 19,99 and is currently available through the Jackery website and on Amazon in the United States. Soon, according to the manufacturer, European users will be able to purchase it through Amazon in the United Kingdom.
