ChargingLeash is a 3 foot cable that starts making an annoying beep when you disconnect your mobile device from the charging cable (see video). If you tend to forget your charger in the hotel rooms when you travel this is going to be helpful. This will not help if you forget the phone along with the charger and cable or if you remove the cable from the charger along with your mobile device.
As you see in the video there is a short delay after the phone is disconnected and the alarm begins. ChargingLeash also provides a visual clue by changing the green light to the red one with the same short delay.
I used my current monitor to see how well this cable charges my Samsung Nexus phone.
This cable provided 0.75A and 5.18V. I test all my chargers and cables with the current monitor, running the tests starting with the same charge level of the phone to account for non-linear charging. My favorite charging cables using the same phone and the same charger gives me 0.98A - 1.02A. So using the ChargngLeash cable you are giving up a bit of charging speed to get the alarm functionality.
What's the bottom line? This cable can be really helpful to some folks, it does exactly what it is described to do. But if you are looking for a generic cable and don't need the alarm feature this is not the speediest charging cable you can get.
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
