Smartphone cords are traditionally designed to transfer power from one source to another, but the Lemniscate Phone Cable features a different approach.
Rather than just transferring power or enabling syncing from a source, the cable features an in-line battery pack that'll charge up whenever connected to a power source. This allows users to keep their device charged without having to think twice about carrying an additional battery pack around.
The Lemniscate Phone Cable features a multi-use design aside from the battery pack that includes a PC card reader and even USB OTG capabilities. The cable is currently available for backing on Kickstarter where the multipurpose USB cord can be purchased for an early bird price of just €35.
