It's common for smartphone users to plug their device in before heading to bed which could cause battery degradation to occur quicker over time, so the Canal Battery Guard is a piece of hardware that could change this from occurring. The device works by being plugged into an existing charger as a middleman between the smartphone and the electricity access point. The accompanying smartphone app will then allow users to customize when the charging will occur; users can set what time they will wake up to only start the charging at the right time to have the device full and ready for use.
The Canal Battery Guard could work to drastically increase battery life overtime and could slow battery degradation with everyday use.
