A few days charging cable is funded almost 8000 Becker, who invested in UsBidi half a million Australian dollars (about $ 360,000). But the campaign will last 27 days, and most likely, “smart” charger collect half a million in US currency. The goal of the developers was to gather Sydney 35 000 Australian dollars, and at the moment they already have 14 times the amount.
UsBidi creators claim that the speed of charging by USB while using the product is doubled. The device charges more quickly due to the fact that unlike other chargers. UsBidi can not synchronize the data simultaneously with the battery charge. To do this, UsBidi a special button that allows you to turn off synchronization and double the speed of the charge.
Charging is automatically turned off when fully charged, thus protecting it from overheating, and short-term cycles, reduces the service life. Indicator lights UsBidi will know about the status of charging and convenient magnetic mount will lock the cable.
The cable works with smartphones and tablets. Also, the buyer can choose the version with the Lightning connector for Apple devices or for Micro USB devices working on Android. The length of the charging cable can be 30, 90 or 180 cm.
Approximate price for UsBidi would be $18 (+ shipment). Thus the buyer can select the connector, color and length.

If this truly works like they say it does I WANT ONE! Do they have it for MacBooks?
Not yet. But after first day, personally I believe that Apple will buy this start up 🙂
This is so cool! Especially when you forgot to charge your device and have to leave in 5 minutes (and go at Kozminski when all the power outlets are always occupied).
Sounds great, but still… if companies will not improve batteries in all those devices I won’t be fully satisfied. Charging phone few times a day is a nightmare… I wish I could charge it for the whole night but once a week, instead of running with cable every single day!!!
