The product, in the report: Hidrate Spark Steel Charging Cable (included charging cable also available for sale listed as HidrateSpark STEEL Charging Cable) Model HydrateSpark Charging cable
HidrateSpark is a Bluetooth-connected smart water bottle that reminds one to drink water through a smartphone-connected app. The bottle reads the water level and calculates your water intake. The charging cable provided does not have overcurrent or short circuit protection and is connected to the device using a magnetic connector with EXPOSED terminals. Because it is magnetic, the connector is attracted to metal objects. In the event that the terminals come in contact with exposed metal, an electrical connection is made and the connector then shorts the 5v power supply. I had a bottle charging on my desk and disconnected it. The cable came in contact with some exposed metal near my worksurface causing the power supply (phone charger to get extremely hot. It happed again when plugged into a USB hub causing it to shut down the hub and all of the USB components on my computer including my mouse and keyboard. Cables can be contructed with simple short circuit protection with the simple addition of a Polyfuse Resttable fuse that will disconnect the circuit due to overcurrent and reset once the fault is removed.
