The Ever-Growing Charging Challenge: How to Optimize Laptop Battery Health
In the fast-paced world of technology, battery life is more crucial than ever. We first heard about Chargie a few years ago when Lighty Gadgets debuted a unit to optimize charging for smartphones. Now, Chargie is back with a new version focused on laptop battery health. With the rise of remote work and digital nomadism, battery-powered devices have become essential tools for daily life. However, maintaining their health is a significant concern.
The Reality of Limited Battery Health Options
Despite device makers offering solutions for battery aging, which set charge limits at 80% automatically, the reality is that it’s not always reliable or available on older devices that don’t support the feature. That’s where Chargie comes in – a more granular scheduling, lower, and configurable overnight charging states – the better solution to charging optimization.
Introducing Chargie for Laptops: A Smarter Way to Charge Laptops
With its companion app, Chargie for Laptops takes care of your notebook’s battery health automatically by smartly limiting and scheduling the daily charging process. The device is easy to use, allowing you to manually adjust the charging limit and schedule, keeping your battery at a safer 50% or 60% while you can, and having it at 90 or 100% when you need longer battery life.
The Importance of Proper Charging Habits
Laptops, just like smartphones, tablets, and most electronic devices, use lithium-ion batteries that require careful management to keep them in good shape for a long time. Frequent deep discharges can significantly shorten their lifespan, and keeping them fully charged for extended periods can also lead to degradation over time. While many laptops offer built-in battery management options, they’re often limited and offer little control over how much power and for how long is delivered.
A Smarter Way to Charge Laptops with Chargie
Chargie for Laptops is a small device that you plug between your laptop and its power supply. It works similarly to the original, but it achieves similar results by optimizing the charging process. Once connected, you can install Chargie’s free companion app on your Windows laptop, MacBook, or Chromebook and customize settings like the charge limit and schedule. You’ll find adapters compatible with most major laptop brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, and more.
Protects Both Your Wallet and the Environment
Not only does Chargie save you money by extending your laptop battery’s lifespan, but it also reduces the environmental impact by preventing premature battery replacements. With the new Chargie for Laptops, you can pledge to back this project on Kickstarter, getting it started at just $40 with an early bird unit. Each Chargie unit comes with a short 4-inch USB-C cable, and you can order adapters compatible with most major laptop brands.
Stay tuned to Chargie’s X and Facebook channels to get more updates on the project and its timeline. You can also check out the existing Chargie C Basic for phones, which allows for slower charging and better battery life for phones.
Remember, with great battery life comes great responsibility!
