Cell phone power charging connectors (USB-C, Lightning, Micro USB) all include data lines along with the power wires. Plugging a standard USB charge cable into an unknown power source such as a public charging port can expose your phone’s data lines to a process called “Juice Jacking” where the data lines are “hacked” to download malicious code onto your phone or to steal data.  See the links provided for more information. SprkCharger magnetic cables and SprkCharger Slim battery have been specifically engineered to remove any threat of data line hacking and are Juice Jack SAFE. The cables can be plugged...

Connector Storage – Key Chain  (?under construction) The SprkCharger magnetic connectors are very convenient and exceptionally flexible with the Lightning, USB C, and Micro USB options provided.  We highly encourage customers to purchase additional connectors and to leave them “mounted” in their devices for daily use to enhance “quick connection” and prevent device connector wear. For other uses, a great deal of focus was invested into designing a proprietary magnetic connector storage system to enhance convenience. The system allows for three connectors to be held magnetically in a recess with a high-quality clear polycarbonate cover to keep them clean, visible,...

The total actual mAh charge provided by Slim is the same but a larger cell will increase a lower % of the total capacity (5000 mAh Phone ~35%) than a smaller cell (2815 mAh Phone ~ 60%). A full discharge of the Slim to the phone is typically 60-80 minutes. Re-Charge Time for the Slim A fully discharged...
