The Nifty XOO Belt is a simple solution to the everyday problem of low smartphone battery life.

The XOO Belt looks, feels, and weighs about the same as a really nice belt but comes with a 2,100mAh of hidden charge which can charge pretty much any device. Designed with a new breed of Lithium Ceramic Polymer flexible battery it’s also ultra safe, weather-resistant and prepared to take a beating.

Nifty XOO Belt Features Built-In Battery to Charge Your iPhone [Indiegogo]

HOW IT WORKS:
The charging wire is magnetically (and invisibly) nestled against the inside of the belt when not in use. Flick down to reveal, plug it in and pop your phone in your pocket—then carry on about your day. Unplug and flick back up when you’re done.

● POCKET-CHARGING // You keep your phone in your pocket so that’s where we charge it.

● TOP-UP-AS-YOU-GO // Power-up in the background as you go about your day.

● WHEREVER, WHENEVER // Office, bar, train or half way up a mountain. If you’re wearing trousers it’s there when you want it.

● NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT // No complicated set-up or strange bulges. Just a simple wire that hides away.

THE BATTERY:
There are six overlapping layers of cutting-edge flexible battery within each belt, giving a base power of 1,300mAh of charge. Add this to the 800mAh in each buckle—for a total of 2,100mAh—and you’ve enough to fully charge an iPhone 6 with some left over.

● YOU WON’T KNOW IT’S THERE // The battery is expertly sandwiched between the belt leather at manufacture. Completely invisible.

● SAFETY FIRST // Made of Lithium Ceramic Polymer our batteries are non-reactive: poke them, cut them or drop them and you’ll still be safe.

● NO HANGING AROUND // Transfers its full charge in around 3 hours. Another 3 hours to recharge.

● UNIVERSAL CHARGING // Ships with a low-profile microUSB-to-USB charging cable, suitable for most devices. Add a Lightning adaptor for all your iOS needs.

AVAILABILITY:
It's estimated that the belt will ship to backers on July. Currently the project has raised $28,814USD
raised of its $50,000 goal. You can pledge $155 to get one of the first belts at the link below. Take a look at the videos for more details...

Good plan, but expect the unexpected because batteries tend to explode, overheat and die when charging them in high volume of cycles or leaving them charge over night.

Great idea. I can see one major snag however. One of the times that this would be most useful would be traveling. I am guessing Airport Security will like like these belts.

Hi Jackson Browne - thank you for the feedback. We have made every effort to ensure conformity to the safety parameters set out by the Civil Aviation Authority. The batteries within the XOO Belt are certified by the manufacturer as ultra safe, being highly resistant to high temperatures, electrical damage, physical impact and even cutting and piercing. However, as this is a new and innovative piece of technology, we cannot guarantee that all airlines will allow passengers to travel with the XOO Belt and we therefore recommend consulting your airline carrier before travelling with the item.
