USB ChargeDoubler Claims To Double Your Charging Speed

Usually plugging your phone’s charger into a wall socket is more or less a guarantee that it will charge faster than if you were to plug it into your computer’s USB port. However sometimes plugging it into your computer’s USB is more convenient, and the good news is that if you’ve always wanted faster charging, then the USB ChargeDoubler might be the device for you.

As the name implies, the ChargeDoubler claims to be able to double the charging speed of regular USB cables. According to its creators, “As soon as the USB ChargeDoubler cable is connected to your device and the charging source, both communicate via the cable´s internal circuit board and supply the maximum charging current.”

It will also attempt to block data from being transferred. “In contrast to standard usb cables, the USB ChargeDoubler cable demands full (and also compatible) charging current of about 1.000 mA (1 A) from your PC while denying to establish a data connection.” What this means is that this is a cable that will speed up your charging, while at the same time preventing malware from installing itself on your phone through the USB.

This also means that if you wanted a USB cable to transfer data to and from your device, you’ll need to use your standard USB cable, but if you just wanted to double the charging speed, then this might be it. The USB ChargeDoubler is currently on Indiegogo trying to raise funds to make it a reality. If you’d like to learn more or pledge your support, hit up its Indiegogo page for the details.
