The unit features two retractable cables for powering up smartphones and can also be used with two additional devices thanks to [two more USB ports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiport-charging-device). A built-in [10,400mAh battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridge-magnetic-power-bank) will keep users powered up no matter where they go, which will also work to power the internal Bluetooth speaker. The 'Voltbox' is the design work of Rikardo Philipp and also identifies a potential to be scaled up for additional retractable cables to be made available for an even easier charging experience out of the house. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hyper-personalized Technology:** The 'Voltbox' reflects the trend of technology products delivering customized experiences. - **Retractable Cable Convenience:** The 'Voltbox' taps into the trend of providing convenient and compact charging solutions. - **Power on the Go:** The built-in 10,400mAh battery in the 'Voltbox' addresses the trend of mobile power solutions for users on the move. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** The 'Voltbox' presents an opportunity for consumer electronics companies to offer innovative charging solutions. - **Wireless Accessories:** The retractable cables in the 'Voltbox' could disrupt the wireless accessories industry by providing a versatile and portable alternative. - **Travel and Tourism:** The 'Voltbox' aligns with the travel and tourism industry's need for portable power solutions for tech-savvy travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Retractable Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexline-67w.md) - [Three-in-One Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chargepuck.md) - [Sleek Compact Minimal Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-charger.md) - [Magnetic Self-Folding Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivycable.md) - [Four-In-One Cable Management Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cable-managements.md) - [Intentional Disconnection Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-power.md) - [Foldable Four-in-One Tech Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-charging-station.md) - [Anti-Clutter Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ampi-charging-station.md) - [15-in-One Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabless-charging-cable.md)
