Nomad today announced the launch of an updated Battery Cable, which comes equipped with a slim 2,800 mAh battery to add a bit of extra juice to Apple's iPhones and iPads.
The Battery Cable looks like a standard braided Nomad Lightning cable for the iPhone, but with the addition of a battery pack at one end that can be used for extra charging power when necessary.
Nomad's 1.5M Battery Cable includes an integrated Nomad cable tie and support for passthrough charging, so you can charge up the battery while you charge your iPhone. Having the battery pack integrated into the cable is convenient because it ensures the battery is always full when you need it.
Compared to the original version of the Battery Cable, the new model has a higher capacity and a sturdier aluminum build.
Nomad's Battery Cable can be purchased from the Nomad website for $49.95 starting today.

What I don't see the worth of is this thing being $50! Anker, a brand anyone who uses power banks should be aware of, sells lipstick-sized banks which offer 3000+mAH of charge for only $16. So it's cheaper AND larger capacity!
No thanks Nomad. I don’t support shady practices. I’ll take my money elsewhere...
A portable power pack (one of eleventy billion out there) whose USP is it’s built into a mains charging cable, which you plug into the wall socket?
Wow. Who on earth wants a PPP in the form factor of a yet another messy cable uncomfortably tangled up in your pocket or bag.
$50 too. Literally extracting the urine.
Nice cable to charge the phone in the car I think. Would get it with a little incentive, like a sale or something.
My only worry is how fast that battery can lose health.
I think this is a very clever Idea, just too expensive.
