Keep Your MacBook Battery Healthy with Chargie: Here’s How

Laptop batteries are one of the first components to degrade, and the habit of keeping them plugged in all day can make the problem worse.

Chargie, a new device from Lighty Gadgets, offers a solution to protect your laptop’s battery health by giving you control over its charging limits and schedules.

The Problem with Modern Laptop Batteries

Modern laptops, like those with Apple’s M-class chips, are powerful and don’t need upgrades often. But despite advancements in performance, battery lifespan still remains an issue.

Batteries degrade over time, and in many cases, they’re either expensive to replace or not replaceable at all. This can lead to premature device upgrades, unnecessary costs, and electronic waste.

How Chargie Can Help

Chargie is a small device that connects between your laptop and its charging cable, allowing you to:

  • Monitor battery health with greater precision.
  • Set charging limits and schedules that fit your lifestyle.
  • Prevent battery degradation caused by keeping it plugged in too long.

Chargie’s companion app, available on macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS, lets you fine-tune charging settings.

For example, you can schedule your laptop to fully charge by 5pm on office days and adjust it for work-from-home days.

Why Chargie Works

Chargie ensures your laptop doesn’t stay at 100% charge for extended periods, a common cause of battery wear. It supports up to 100W power delivery, so your laptop still charges quickly while preventing damage to the battery.

Availability and Pricing

Chargie is available for a $40 early bird price through its Kickstarter campaign. It’s expected to ship in February 2025 for early backers, and March 2025 for others.

With Chargie, you can keep your laptop’s battery healthy and extend its lifespan without inconvenience. You can also explore the Chargie C Basic, a similar product for phones, which offers slower charging for better battery life.
