Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Leo automatically sets an optimal charge limit at approximately 90% for all your USB devices. Maintaining your batteries within the range of 10% to 90% can already significantly extend their lifespan.
Leo charges at a slower, more sustainable rate when you have the time, such as during the night. However, with a simple push of a button, you can switch to fast charging when needed!
During night charging, Leo takes a break at around 80%, effectively reducing the duration your batteries remain at a high charge percentage and voltage.
Leo works just by plugging it in between your device and your charger: Plug&Play. You do not have to do anything yourself.
Leo can be used to optimize charging for practically all your USB-C devices. Whether your device uses a USB-C to lightning cable or a USB-A to USB-C cable, they can still benefit from Leo. Its adaptability enables implementation on both the charger side and the device side.
As mentioned earlier, you can still opt for a fast charge up to 100% when necessary. Simply hold the button to swiftly override Leo and switch to fast charging. This way, there’s no need to unplug Leo.
Leo is designed with sustainability in mind. Our device is built to last for many years, and with updatable software, it will stay up to date throughout its lifespan. We’ve made the cable modular and easily replaceable to ensure longevity, as we understand that even the best cables can wear out over time.
You don’t need an app or anything to make Leo work: just plug it in. But if you like extra features: here we go. With the Leo App, you get a dashboard with battery analytics, you can measure battery health, see charging graphs, and keep Leo up to date with OTA firmware updates! We will continue adding new features through the app and Leo.
