The [built-in charge cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanyard-charging) on the 'Reeljuice' is designed to charge connected devices up to four times faster than traditional cables. This helps to get the device connected charged and unplugged as soon as possible. The cable affixed to the 'Reeljuice' is four feet in length and can be interchanged with either a Lightning connector or a microUSB tip. 'Reeljuice' portable battery chargers are capable of recharging devices up to three times before needing a recharge. Better yet, the device allows for [pass-through charging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solix-522), which means it can be connected to an outlet to charge the internal battery and the connected device simultaneously. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Quick Charge Design:** Opportunity for disruption: Develop new charging technologies that can charge devices at an even faster rate than the Reeljuice. - **Interchangeable Cable:** Opportunity for disruption: Create portable battery chargers with customizable cable options, allowing users to use different connectors according to their device. - **Pass-through Charging:** Opportunity for disruption: Invent portable battery chargers that not only charge the connected device but also power themselves from an outlet simultaneously. ### Where This Applies - **Portable Electronics:** Opportunity for disruption: Design new portable battery chargers specifically targeted for smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices. - **Consumer Electronics Accessories:** Opportunity for disruption: Develop innovative accessories such as portable battery chargers with unique designs and features to enhance the overall user experience. - **Wireless Charging Solutions:** Opportunity for disruption: Create wireless charging solutions that eliminate the need for cables altogether, making charging even more convenient and efficient. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Quick Charge Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimble-powerknit-cables.md) - [Retractable Cable Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-power-bank.md) - [Magnetic Charging Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable.md) - [Multipurpose Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeusx-go-ultra.md) - [Multifunctional Charging Cable Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivycable-gen2.md) - [Modern Retractable Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexline-67w.md) - [Wearable Triangular Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mchaos-power-bank.md) - [Magnetic Self-Folding Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivycable.md) - [Compact Capacious Tech Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mophie-powerstation-pro-ac.md)
