Smart LED power cable

An electrical charging cable that is configured to indicate a charge level of a battery being charged, the charging cable comprising:

• a cable body with internal electrical conductors that are configured to carry charging current to the battery being charged;
• and
• at least one charge indicating light located on an outer surface of the charging cable, the at least one charge indicating light being configured to visually indicate to an observer the charge level of the battery being charged, wherein the at least one light is configured to indicate the charging level by changing the color emitted from the light to indicate different charging levels and is also configured to indicate the different charging levels via a plurality of discrete LED lights arranged linearly along the cable, and
• a logic indicator chip configured to enable a user to selectively set a manner in which the different charging levels are communicated to the user via said at least one charge indicating light;
• an app interface configured to communicate with the logic indicator chip to enable the user to communicate with and instruct the logic indicator chip the user's choice on how the different charging levels should be displayed at the cable.
