Chargies for phones and tablets works great, Chargie for Laptops doesn't work at all on Windows. I contacted support, he said to use a 100W charger, so I bought one, and it still doesn't work - it almost never pairs with the chargie. In the rare occassion that it does, it says it's charging even though it is not. Completely worthless.

I was super excited for the Chargie Laptop Kickstarter. I was frustrated by the delay but excited when the device finally arrived. Sadly, it's been nothing but a nuisance. It regularly declares that it has "disconnected". I've tried a wide combination of chargers and cables and it seems to persist through all of them. Worse, their customer service is completely non-responsive, as I've sent several messages (via multiple different channels) and have yet to hear back.Update: I eventually heard back. Apparently this is "standard behavior" as the is only designed to work Chargie with a 100W charger. (At no point in the advertising was this made clear. I have a variety of chargers that came with my devices but nothing that large. And it would never occur to me to charge an iPad on 100W.)
This review has been a long time coming.I first bought a couple of Chargie A devices in November 2024, one year ago. They worked great with later versions of Android, but not earlier ones.I did quite a lot of investigation and reported this as a fault, providing extensive notes to identify the problem. No response. One year later, an App update appeared that fixed the problem. Finally!It now does what I bought it for. Better late than never.
I backed Chargie for Laptops on Kickstarter and received the product as expected based on their communication.Admittedly, I was a bit nervous as they coded the payment portal themselves, but the payment went through and shipping happened.When I received the device, I installed the app on my MacBook per the instructions, then plugged it into my MacBook charger and plugged my MacBook into it.... And... nothing. The device was not detected by the app for over 10 minutes using the automatic scan, so I switch to the manual scan. I'm not sure what the difference is, since it's still a scan, but... it did eventually pick up the Chargie.The problem is, the Chargie does not work. With it plugged in and the app recognizing it, the power just starts and stops repeatedly. The device is effectively nonfunctional.I reached out to support multiple times via their website and have not heard back.
Ordered a Chargie A Gold and a Chargie C Basic on Thursday July 10th, 2025. Package arrived Tuesday 15th, even before the tracking info that was sent by mail on Wednesday July 16. I have an old iPhone SE 2020 connected now with the Chargie A. The phone starts charging when the battery level is below 60% and stops at 80%. Just what is needed to extend the battery life. Minor remark: Putting the LEDs off does not work. The iOS-app says a Chargie A SE or newer is needed to do that. On Android there is a setting 'Complete dark mode' that puts the LEDs off, so the device supports it.
I have an iPhone 13 mini because it fits in my pocket. However, it ceased production some time ago so I want the battery to last as long as possible. Chargie C Basic was the obvious choice.It took over one month to arrive and for another month it didn’t work at all - either on my iPhone or on an android phone. It simply failed to shut off the power. Emails to the company were ignored. I lost patience and put it aside.At the beginning of July, I was on the verge of taking it further through my credit card company but decided to give it one more try. I re-downloaded the app, which was noticeably different to, and better than, the version which was available when the device arrived. Guess what? It works.The low rating is for the overall experience. For the product as it now stands, I give it 4.5.(The current iPhone app version is v2.0.1.)UPDATE 29th August:After the disappointing start in July when I awarded two stars, described above, the device is now working perfectly. The original software appeared to be the problem.Assuming this is now typical, I can fully recommend.
