Chargie is an app+hardware phone charge limiting solution that makes your battery last for much longer than if you had charged it regularly to 100% all night, every night.One of the biggest causes of early battery failure is not charging your phone to 100% every night and leaving it that way for eight hours. Our goal is to make that transformation.
Your phone’s battery will survive far longer with Chargie, an app+hardware phone charge limitation solution, than it would if you charged it continuously to 100% all night, every night.
Chargie to the rescue
Over the course of the eight hours of overnight charging, Chargie assumes control of the power flow by using an algorithm to reduce stress linked to voltage and battery temperature.Because of the way lithium ion chemistry functions, this will significantly lengthen the life of batteries and phones.
Your phone has a substantially less carbon impact and lasts longer when charged with a Chargie device. After three years, modern smartphones are still a suitable fit as long as the operating system does not limit their performance due to low battery life.Furthermore, because your old phone will be Chargie Certified—a guarantee of the battery’s protection—you’ll be able to resale it for more money when the time comes to replace it.
Here’s how it works:
- For the app to work, you need to get your Chargie USB device from https://chargie.org.
- Insert the device into your regular charger and the phone cable into Chargie.
- Install the app on your phone.
- Set the charge percentage you need for the next day.
- Go to sleep.
Charging Scheduler
The special feature of Chargie’s “Top Up Scheduler” is that it can safely charge your phone between 50 and 70% of its capacity at night and only top it up to a desired amount right before you wake up in the morning.This enables you to use the phone’s battery to its maximum potential while also safeguarding the health of your battery by avoiding extended high states of charge. Compared to some of the manufacturers’ existing stock solutions, it is far superior.
How to install Chargie – phone charge limiter on your iOS device:
- On our website, click the “Continue To App” option. You’ll be taken to the App Store as a result.
- You can begin the Chargie – phone charge limiter download and installation as soon as it appears in the iOS device’s iTunes listing. To begin downloading the app, tap the GET button located to the right of it.
- You will be asked for your Apple ID and/or password if you are not currently logged in to the iOS appstore.
- Upon downloading Chargie – phone charge limiter, a button labeled INSTALL will appear on the right. To begin the iOS app’s actual installation, tap on it.
- You can start it by tapping the OPEN button once installation is complete. Additionally, its icon will be added to your device.
Why all-night charging is bad for your battery’s health
Long periods of time spent maintaining a 100% charge cause stress connected to heat and voltage, which breaks down the battery’s internal lithium lattice at the molecular level.Restricting the charge level below 100% or releasing it after the battery has been fully charged has a major positive impact on the battery’s longevity.
A typical phone battery may be charged optimally up to 1000 times before exhibiting symptoms of deterioration (tables courtesy of batteryuniversity.com).The scientific community has a wealth of documentation on this. Manufacturers of electric vehicles, such as Tesla, currently advise against charging their class of lithium-ion cells to 100% by default and to maintain a reserve of 5 kWh in the battery to prevent it from being discharged to zero.
