McDodo Lightning Bolt 3.0 Cable: A Smart Way to Charge Your Devices

It used to be simple — you’d plug a Lightning cable into your iPhone or iPad, put the other end into your Mac or a power adapter, and everything would charge up. Now your devices can be quick-charged if they are able, but sometimes when you want them to get a fast charge, they’re not getting it. The Mcdodo Lightning Bolt 3.0 Cable ($19) is the smart answer, providing LEDs that indicate when your device is getting a fast or trickle charge, as well as smart IC technology to halt the flow of power once your battery is fully charged.



  • Automatic recharge functions

  • The orange LED light signals the cord is fast charging your device

  • The green LED light signals the cord is trickle charging your device. 

  • Smart IC technology to ensure the correct current is being transferred to your device to prevent overheating.

  • Overcharge protection 

  • 6-foot-long charging cord

The Mcdodo Lightning Bolt 3.0 cables come in black or red, and in single or double packs. You can pick up a single pack for just $19 (regularly $29.99) or two for $31.99.
