The standard Lightning cable comes with a number of shortcomings. It’s short in length, vulnerable to nicks or fraying, and can’t keep track of what its charging or when it’s done. This extra long smart cable offers an upgrade on all those fronts.

The Mcdodo Lightning Bolt 3 includes automatic recharge, monitoring the flow of power so that once the device is fully juiced, it stops, preserving battery lifespan. With a zinc alloy connector and copper core in an aluminum shell, it’s durable enough to last longer than the devices you use it to charge. and will last a long time. It supports high speed charging too, indicated by an on-board LED light. Orange means it’s charging at high speed; green means it’s in trickle mode. Smart IC technology offers built-in overcharge protection, and a six-foot reach means you won’t be stretching to charge your devices.
