A wearable tech start-up called Ion Tech Wear has released a belt that also acts as a device charger in order to reduce the amount of “stuff” we carry around each day.
The Ion Belt has +/- 1.5 charges (3,000mAh) of mobile phone power into a belt that can also be worn as — just a belt.
The waist belt is compatible with almost any rechargeable device and boasts a full charge-time of 1.5 hours . The creators designed the belt to simplify daily electronic use so they included a USB plug built right into the leather, so users can charge their devices straight from their pockets. The buckle also has a low-profile USB plug built into it so that charging the belt is is similar to that of a smartphone by plugging it into an outlet.
The Ion Belt is available for pre-order on Kickstarter for just $99 and will ship to backers of the project in June 2016.
