My video about the Chargie - A hardware phone charging management device

I'm using two Chargies to manage the charging on an Android phone and on an iPhone, without any rooting or jail-breaking required. Apart from monitoring battery charging temperature and percentage overnight, it also helps prevent charging my iPhone continuously to 100% while I'm driving and have it plugged in for Apple CarPlay to operate.

The Chargie is now available for iOS too, to limit battery charging to 80% or whatever you want to set it too

I've been using a Chargie for the last two years on my Android phone (my wife is now using it) and loved that it is a hardware device that shuts off the charging at a user set percentage. It does this by monitoring the battery and temperature via the app running on the phone.

This type of battery charge limiting was exclusively the reserve of rooted phones before the Chargie came along.
Yes iOS 14.5 has optimised charging, but that still charges the battery up to 100% which is a full charge cycle. So finally the Chargie is now available for iOS devices, and I've just ordered mine.

With the glued in non-replaceable batteries of today this device at $35 plus shipping is just worth it to me. The manufacturing has improved the quality further to prevent corrosion on the PCB inside which just means the device should be a once-only purchase.
