The JUMP Cable is a <strong>lightweight USB charging cable<\/strong> with a twist: it also has a small <strong>self-charging inline battery<\/strong> that provides your smartphone with some much-needed emergency backup power.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is The JUMP Cable?<\/h2>\n<p>The JUMP Cable is a USB charging cable with <strong>an inline 800mAh battery<\/strong> that weighs less than two AA batteries. It is small enough to fit in your coin pocket. The makers claim that the 800mAh battery is powerful enough to add <strong>a third to the battery life of an iPhone 5\/5s<\/strong> and is good for nearly <strong>4 hours of talk time or web browsing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/jump-charging-cable-battery\/jump-cable-charging.jpg\" alt=\"JUMP Cable Charging from Laptop\" height=\"286\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>The cable itself <strong>works like a normal USB cable<\/strong>: it will charge and sync your phone, and it supports high-speed data transfer. One of the most interesting things about the JUMP Cable\u2019s battery is its patented AutoCharge technology. When you plug it into your phone and a power source for charging, the moment the smartphone battery is full, <strong>JUMP Cable automatically charges itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/jump-charging-cable-battery\/jump-cable-autocharge.jpg\" alt=\"JUMP Cable AutoCharge Technology\" height=\"343\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>The JUMP Cable will also work with <strong>wall sockets<\/strong> and <strong>car chargers<\/strong>, so you can use it with just about any source you\u2019d normally use to charge your smartphone.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/jump-charging-cable-battery\/jump-cable-charging-from-wall.jpg\" alt=\"JUMP Cable Charging from Wall Socket\" height=\"286\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/nativeunion\/jump-the-first-charging-solution-that-fits-your-li\">The JUMP Cable<\/a> comes in both <strong>Lightning and Micro USB<\/strong> versions.
