Chargie – Protect Your Laptop’s Battery Health

You probably know from experience that constantly keeping your laptop plugged in and charged to 100% significantly reduces its battery lifespan, don’t you?

Batteries exposed to high temperatures can lose up to 20% of their capacity in a single year!

We designed a device that saves you $1,450 every 2 years and keeps your laptop running at top performance for much longer – without changing how you use it.

Chargie for Laptops is a smart charging manager that, together with its companion Chargie app, takes care of your laptop’s battery health automatically by smartly limiting and scheduling the daily charging process. 

Chargie was born out of Lighty Gadgets’ founder Ovidiu’s experience of a dying phone battery while he was trying to reach the airport in Rome, going home from Maker Faire in 2018. That burning phone almost caused him to lose the flight.

6 Years Later, Chargie for phones has around 50,000 customers worldwide, in almost every country on Earth.

You’ll have a personal battery guardian that ensures your laptop is always ready when you need it, without the worry of premature battery wear.

We designed Chargie to be user-friendly because we believe technology should make life easier, not more complicated. But of course, there’s room for improvement. We rely on customer feedback in our app and hardware improvement process.

Step 1: Plug the Chargie between your laptop and its power supply

Connect the Chargie device between your laptop and its power supply using the included cables. We provide adapters compatible with most major laptop brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, and more. If you can’t find your adaptor type in the Add-ons section when you back this campaign, you’ll be able to order it later directly from our shop, when we collect your delivery address.

Step 2: Install the App

Download the Chargie app on your Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS laptop. Installation takes just a minute. The app is provided free of charge.

Step 3: Customize Your Charging Schedule

Open the app to set your desired charge limit (e.g., 80%) and schedule charging times that fit your routine. Chargie takes care of the rest!

Protect your $1,000+ laptop battery with the next evolution of Chargie. Designed to handle up to 100W power delivery, this isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a new level of protection for your most valuable tech. Back our campaign and get it starting at just $49—because your laptop deserves better.

🔋 Protects Your Battery Health

By intelligently managing your laptop’s charging, Chargie significantly extends your battery’s lifespan. No more worrying about battery replacements or being tethered to a wall socket.

💰 Saves You Money

Laptop batteries often degrade to the point where they can’t be used anymore within 2-3 years or sooner. Chargie tackles this by limiting and scheduling charging, doubling your battery’s lifespan, and keeping your laptop functional for the full 5 years or even more. 

This thing alone will save you up to $1,450 (your average laptop’s value) in maintenance costs while reducing electronic waste.

As a comparison, Chargie for phones recoups its own investment in about 29 days for a high-end phone. Many laptops are much more expensive than phones and you expect a laptop to take you more years down the road, so Chargie is a good fit for it for any such device.

📊 Enhances Your Productivity

With a reliable battery, you can work from anywhere for longer without interruption. Chargie gives you the freedom to take your laptop wherever you go, knowing it will last. You’ll charge it to 100% only when you need to!

🍃 Eco-Friendly Choice

By reducing the need for battery replacements, you’re also reducing electronic waste. Chargie helps you make a positive impact on the environment. 

Over a 5-year span, for 50,000 users worldwide, Chargie will save approximately:

10,000 tons of CO2 by avoiding the manufacture of replacement laptops.

1.5 tons of lithium by preventing the need for new laptop batteries. Avoiding the extraction and processing of 1.5 tons of lithium saves approximately 22.5 tons of CO2.

This highlights Chargie’s potential to significantly reduce environmental impact by extending the lifespan of laptops. 

The CO2 savings from above are equivalent to taking approximately 2,174 cars off the road for a year. Which is a small city with no cars for a year. And that’s for just 50,000 people using Chargie!

Now let’s take this thing further:

If 200 million users (why not?), including multinational corporations, adopt Chargie, the estimated impact would be:

• 40,090,000 tons of CO2 saved, combining reductions from avoided laptop manufacturing and lithium extraction/processing.
• This is equivalent to taking approximately 8,715,217 cars off the road for a year.

There are approximately 2.1 billion laptop users worldwide. Think about that.

We asked a few of our current customers of Chargie for phones (A and C Basic) to send in their impressions on their own Chargie device. We did not pay anyone to do this, their reward was yet another Chargie device, which they already loved, they didn’t do it for money.

We have our own manufacturing and distribution processes. Our European production facilities in Romania are already up and running, successfully delivering Chargie devices for phones. With your support, we can scale up production for Chargie for Laptops smoothly.

We have two warehouses we work with in the US and EU. From there we ship all over the world. Actually, we’ve been doing this since 2019 when Ovidiu, our founder, sold the first Chargie and we’re pretty good at it.

Our experienced team is dedicated to making sure your Chargie arrives promptly and works perfectly right out of the box.

If you want to order a Chargie for phones, we already have Chargie A Gold Edition and Chargie C Basic (which shares the format with Chargie C for Laptops, but is limited to 10W for better phone battery protection). You can order them here directly from stock: https://chargie.org/chargie-shop/
