Overview

  • The adapter cuts charging automatically at full battery to prolong device lifespan, curb energy waste and reduce fire hazards.
  • Founders Hans-Peter Nägele, Andreas Tutschner and Christoph Tutschner secured €200,000 from investor Ralf Dümmel for a 15% stake.
  • Its three modes include a 100% full-charge setting, a standard mode with automatic shut-off and an eco mode that caps charging between 70% and 90%.
  • Reviewers have praised its simple design and plug-and-play operation, though it only works with grounded outlets and may struggle with some power strips and wireless chargers.
  • The team plans to adapt the technology for power strips, flush-mounted sockets and other charging solutions to expand its market reach.
