NomadPlus Apple wall charger doubles up as a portable charger


NomadPlus

Nomad, popular for its ChargeKey, a keychain-sized USB cable has introduced NomadPlus, a wall charger for Apple smartphones that has a built-in battery to charge the smartphone even when you remove it. It has a 1500mAh battery that promises to charge your Apple smartphone up to 70% after you unplug it from the wall.

Even though it packs a built-in battery, it weighs just 60 grams, lighter than portable battery pack and waller charger combined. Since it offers 5V / 1A output, it can even be used for charging other smartphones and tablets by plugging in a micro USB cable. Once you plug it in the wall, it charges the phone first, then charges the battery inside, offering consistent power for your device.

The NomadPlus Apple wall charger costs US$39 and is available for pre-order. It would ship by November. The company recently introduced NomadKey, an upgraded version of the ChargeKey that has been re-designed with tougher materials and MFi certification. This costs US $29 and would ship in late August. The NomadClip, carabiner sized cable costs $39 and would ship  early October. Both the NomadKey and NomadClip would be available in Apple Lightning or USB variants.
