External battery packs are a great way for users to charge their phone when it gets low on battery. However the downside is that these battery packs aren’t exactly compact and carrying them in your pocket can be a bit uncomfortable. For those looking for a smaller and more compact solution, the BOLD Knot might be worth checking out.
As you can see in the video above, the BOLD Knot is small and non-descript. In fact if you did not know any better you would think it’s just a random keychain accessory. However it is more than that. The BOLD Knot acts as an external battery pack that is able to give your phone a little bit more juice for those emergency situations.
Its creators claim it will provide up to 30% extra battery but did not mention how big the battery is. It also doubles up as a charging cable for your phone and just like the USB ChargeDoubler accessory we reported yesterday, it is able to charge your phone twice as fast as regular USB cables.
This is because it too comes with a data-blocking feature that basically tells your computer to forget about syncing and transferring of data and just focus on charging instead. We have to admit we love the idea and the fact that it is so non-descript, compact, and functional. Its creators are trying to raise funds for it on Indiegogo so if you’d like to pledge your support, head on over to its Indiegogo page for the details.
