Chargie - Protect Your Laptop's Battery Health

Laptops that live plugged in see their batteries degrade within two or three years: holding a constant 100% charge is the top killer of lithium batteries, and most people never manage charging manually. Chargie is a smart charging manager that sits between your laptop and its power supply. The companion app (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS) sets a charge limit—say 80%—and charging schedules, and the hardware executes automatically, keeping the battery in its healthy zone. It handles up to 100W PD pass-through, so even power-hungry machines charge at full speed, and included adapters fit most major brands. Behind it stands Romania's Lighty Gadgets: the phone version of Chargie has served around 50,000 customers since 2018. Launched in November 2024, it drew 1,796 backers and $123,769, around 825% funded.
