It&#8217;s a good idea, the app is well written and the device works (with a few tiny glitches) but I&#8217;m concerned that it won&#8217;t save my battery. Now instead of staying at 100% in the overnight, my battery goes between 80 and 85% charge several times per night. If it&#8217;s the act of discharging that is bad for a battery, then Chargie won&#8217;t solve the battery-wear problem. :-( I want it to work but I uninstalled it. Maybe it would help if it automatically turned on Battery Saving mode while on the Chargie device.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a Chargie device for my phone.
