USB Voltage Protectors

This USB Fuse Ensures Being Able to Safely Power Devices and Gadgets

— February 10, 2016 — Tech
The prevalence of USB devices in the modern market has some users unsure how to measure USB voltage to make the right connections, so this USB fuse is designed to take the guesswork away.

Working as a middle man between a charging device and the power source, the USB fuse has five different modes to make charging or powering anything safer. Currently funding on Kickstarter, the fuse works by simply allowing a USB device to be plugged into the unit. From here, the opposite end is plugged into the power source and the device will instantly go to work offering protection from overcharging.

The USB voltage protector helps to inhibit damage that can be done during those times that devices are left plugged in for longer periods than anticipated.
Trend Themes
1. USB Voltage Protection - The development of innovative USB voltage protection technology that helps protect devices when charging or powering them.
2. Smart Charging and Powering - The evolution of smart devices that can monitor and regulate voltage during power and charging of devices, with the aim of increasing safety and convenience.
3. Crowdfunding for Technology Startups - The rise of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, which offer opportunities for technology startups to raise funds, validate ideas, and build brand recognition.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can market and sell USB voltage protectors to improve product safety and convenience, and differentiate their products in a crowded marketplace.
2. Electric Vehicles - Electric vehicle manufacturers can develop innovative charging and power management technologies that enhance safety and convenience for EV owners, while also minimizing damage to batteries and electronics.
3. Software Development - Software developers can create apps and other solutions that help users monitor and regulate voltage during power and charging of devices, to improve overall safety and performance.
