Belkin, one of the world’s leading consumer electronics accessories companies, has released the new BOOST CHARGE smart USB charging cable which can show users at a glance if their iPhone is fully charged.
The BOOST CHARGE cable uses a custom circuit board and proprietary firmware to communicate with the iPhone’s battery to display an amber light while still charging and a green light when charging is complete.
It is available in two versions – Lightning connector with USB-A and Lightning connector with USB-C.
The cables are compatible with all iPhones and is MFI-certified and can charge up to 12W using a wall or car charger.
Anyone with an iPhone 8 or later will also be able to charge from 0 to 50 per cent in 30 minutes when you combine the Belkin Smart LED cable with a PD (power delivery)-enabled USB-C charger.
The cables are manufactured with durable aircraft-grade aluminium overmold and double braided nylon exterior so they can handle daily use while maintaining their physical integrity.
