NU10 #7 AUTO SHUT OFF CHARGER FOR GADGETS by Rosalyn P. Donato
The Background
Cell phones and gadgets are every man's staples in this day and age. Because of the different functions done with one gadget, the battery drains up easily. And when the gadget goes into " low batt ", we tend to panic. Just to be sure, we're "100 percent" charged at the start of the day, we usually charge our phones/gadgets before bedtime at night and leave it plugged in the charger until the following day. Dangers of overcharging of the battery as well as fire caused by it are urban legends propagated in the internet. We do not know the real danger but just in case they are true, we try at least to unplug it before we sleep. But most of the time, we tend to forget about it ,leaving them charging all night long while we might be sleeping with the "enemy."
How the Innovation will work
Designing the battery charger of a cellphone or electronic gadget with automatic shut off as soon all full charge is achieved without draining back the battery can be an innovation.
Gains from the Innovation
This kind of cell phone/gadget electronic battery charger which automatically shuts off once its full charge is achieved will greatly reduce the chance of overcharging that can ruin the battery as well as the gadget itself. It will also lessen the chance of causing overheating that may lead to fire and other threats to safety like burns once the gadget is handled.
Implementation of the Innovation
The electronic gadget/cell phone charger will contain a sensor chip that will detect the level of charge of the battery. Most of the latest cellphones/'gadgets' chargers these days have a pilot light that turns into green once the full charge is achieved. Maybe a tiny chip can be embedded together with it that will automatically shut off the charger once the fully charged status is reached. 4
