is there such a USB lead that has a light that goes off when charged?

I have a power bank from Anker that has 4 LED lights and blinks when charging, when its fully charged all the final light goes solid (like the other 3) and then all lights turn off after a short while because its charged

But i have attached Velcro straps holding my power bank securely and its annoying having to take it all off just to check the charge status

So , i am wondering if i can get a usb to micro usb with a little LED indicator that will go off once its charged?

Since no one else has replied to this.

I am going to take a punt and say no. can y ou not take the pack out and turn it around so you can easily see the leds thus see when it is fully charged ?.

Another idea might be one of those gadgets that you can see how much electric it is using plug the adapter into that. that way you will be able to see it is no longer taking any current, something like that anyhow.

EDIT: Go to the rainforest and put this in "Mini LCD USB Voltage Current Detector Mobile Power Charger Digital Tester Meter" worth a punt at less than £5

sort of, yes

i had one that i bought a while ago actually
does USB-C and micro USB

unfortunately the screen goers off after a minute, but i think the theory behind it is, once the Amp rating and the Resistance changes a lot (low amps, high resistance) its charged
