Volta Charger Magnetic USB Charging Lead Cross Mobile Platforms

Monday, May 28, 2018

Anyone who owns a smartphone or tablet most likely has experienced, at some point, the struggle of plugging in the charger lead into the device.
With a proper magnetic USB charging lead such as the Volta Charger, you won't experience such "plug in" issues because it magnetically connects regardless of the orientation, plus you can use Volta Charger with different platforms as it comes with different connector studs, so your Android And iOS devices can finally share the same cable which is pretty neat.
Volta Charger works pretty much like Apple's MagSafe so if you accidentally trip over the cable the magnetic connection will just break-free, preventing your device from flying-off your desk.
Volta Charger is really that convenient because, not only, it saves you time and hassle it also lets you "pull and go" so you can pick up your phone, pull the cable and walk away, which comes very handy when in hurry so you won't be breaking the connector cable when yanking it.
Volta Charger comes as a 3.5 feet long tangle-free braided nylon with PVC resin lead cable that weighs 20 grams and attaches to interchangeable stud connectors. Each connector stud weighs 0.9 grams and are coated with N52 neodymium magnets which are second in magnetic power to N55 grade neodymium.

The stud connectors join together first time around thanks to a strong magnetic attraction between the two pieces (the magnetic plug and the stud connector) both of which are magnetized. Saying this, you can easily remove the stud connector with your fingernails.
The great thing of having both pieces magnetized is that you can't connect it the wrong way around because the magnetic force will repel it so the connector will always join the right way around (not all magnetic USB charging leads come with magnetized stud connectors).
Volta Charger works straightforward. Simply plug the connector tip into the charging port of your device so it remains on your phone and whenever you want to charge it, bring the other half of the cable up to your phone and voila!
Volta Charger cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer
While Volta Charger is not MFI-certified (when connected to a iOS device you may get a warning message), it does not alter charging speed so it will still charge your iOS device without problems.

Talking about the cable, Volta Charger uses 24 AWG copper wires for fast charging speed up to 2.4A. Volta Charger also supports Quick Charge 2.0 & Quick Charge 3.0 and Power Drive devices such as Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel.

Volta Charger pretty much supports any high amp and voltage charging so you can use it with 5.1 volts or 2.1 volts for iPad. Volta Charger though, does not support Dash Charge on OnePlus devices.
As mentioned earlier, the braided cable has a small green led built-in to the plug of the cable that indicates when power is going through the cable (the led does not indicate battery charge). Talking about the led, you can only charge micro USB devices with the led side facing you. This is to protect your devices from excessive flow of current. 
Volta Charger support iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, SE, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, S7/S7 Edge, S8/S8 Edge, Note 4/Edge, Nexus 6, Pixel, Oppo, Honor, Huawei, Microsoft, Nokia, Sony Xperia Z5/Z4, Motorola Droid Turbo, Moto X, HTC One M9/One (M8), LG V10/G4, ASUS ZenFone 2 Check out the review of the Volta 2.0 cable and Volta Spark cable.
