Maestro Battery Pack

Does the USB type connector in the battery pack have any cord on it? Because most battery packs are dual connectors. I was just wondering if there is any slack in the cable that can be used to maneuver the jack to the bottom or top jack of the battery pack. THANKS

    It doesn't have that much slack maneuver the battery so the max output connector is used. All my battery packs have to USB sockets one is rated at 2.4 amps the other at something less. From what I understand connecting to both of them does not work so use the high output socket.

    Hi Steve. The problem is that most batteries in the 10000 mah range, the charging jack is in the middle of the battery pack. And the power connectors are on the side. So I can’t position either connector in the direct center. Probably going to have to get a small extension. Looks to me like they should have designed a 1-2 “ ribbon cable or just made it long enough to have a little slack. Thoughts?
