Charge Guard iQ learns how long your battery charger takes to reach your chosen charge level, then cuts the power automatically next time. You set it up once, and it remembers the setting.
Before you start
Charge your device to the level you normally treat as "fully charged", following the manufacturer's instructions. This is typically 90 to 100% for lithium-ion batteries, and 80% for ternary lithium batteries.
Set up Charge Guard iQ
- Plug Charge Guard iQ into a wall socket.
- Plug your device's charger into the socket on Charge Guard iQ, and connect your device to its charger.
- Press the iQ button once. It lights up solid blue.
- Press and hold the iQ button for 7 seconds, until it starts flashing blue.
- Let go of the button. It goes back to solid blue.
- Leave everything connected. After 1 minute, the iQ button flashes for another 5 minutes, then Charge Guard iQ turns off and cuts power to your device.
Your target charge level is now saved. You have 1 minute to complete steps 3 to 4. If more than 1 minute passes, unplug Charge Guard iQ and start again from step 2.
Charge your device next time
- Plug your device's charger into Charge Guard iQ.
- Press the iQ button once. It stays solid blue while charging.
- When your target level is reached, the iQ button flashes blue for 5 minutes, then cuts the power.
To change the saved level, repeat the set-up steps.
10-hour safety cut-off
For extra safety, Charge Guard iQ always cuts power after 10 hours of continuous charging, even if the target level hasn't been reached.
