Developed by the [Nomad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-65w-power-adapter), the NomadPlus is a 1,500mAh external battery that uses [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-power-bank) official power plug to save space. You simply have to slide the charger in and you can top your iPhone -- as well as other low-power USB devices -- with a single peripheral, even if you're not anywhere near a wall outlet. The NomadPlus doesn't provide bountiful energy on its own -- it can juice up an iPhone up to 70% -- but provides enough to get you through a typical day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Integrated Charging Solutions:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative devices that combine power adapters and external batteries for convenience and space-saving. - **Low-power USB Devices:** Growing demand for devices that require less power and can be charged using portable external batteries. - **Efficient Battery Technology:** Advancements in battery technology to create more energy-efficient and longer-lasting portable power solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovations in integrated charging solutions provide opportunities for consumer electronics companies to enhance the convenience of their products. - **Mobile Accessories:** Rising demand for low-power USB devices drives the market for innovative mobile accessories that can be charged using portable external batteries. - **Battery Technology:** Development of efficient battery technology offers disruptive innovation opportunities to battery manufacturers for various applications, including portable power solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fast-Charging Power Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-65w-power-adapter.md) - [Minimalist Charging Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-charging-devices.md) - [Clip-On Phone Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-power-bank.md) - [Compact Apple-Compatible Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffcool-1.md) - [Smartwatch-Friendly Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-65w-power-adapter-apple-watch-edition.md) - [See-Through High-Power Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30w-power-adapter.md) - [Ultra-Slim Smartphone Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-nano-magsafe.md) - [Triple-Device Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momax-airbox-go.md) - [Stylish Dual-Device Charger Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-base-one-max.md)
