Smartphone battery pack beats funding target
LONDON — A compact smartphone battery pack that charges itself every time you charge your phone has smashed its crowdfunding target on Kickstarter, after receiving significant media attention at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which was held last week.
The device, known as Jump, consists of an 800mAh battery attached to a smartphone-charging cable. It connects to a USB port at one end and a smartphone-charging port at the other. Using so-called AutoCharge technology, Jump is able to detect when the battery inside your smartphone is full and automatically redirect the power to charge its own battery.
This can then be used to provide a power boost to your smartphone when the battery is running low. Native Union, which developed Jump, claims that it is able to provide up to three hours and 50 minutes of additional talk time or 87 hours of standby time.
The advantage of Jump is that it removes the need to carry a separate phone charger and battery pack. Everything is integrated into a single charging cable that weighs only 40g and is small enough to fit into your pocket, so you can take it to work or on holiday without a second thought.
The company set up a crowdfunding appeal on Kickstarter to raise US$40,000 (S$50,600) for the project and hit its goal within 24 hours. At the time of writing, US$134,643 had been pledged. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
