What is the Savasocket Mobile?
- The SAVASOCKET MOBILE™ eliminates the problem of chargers left plugged in unnecessarily. Once a mobile phone (for instance) is fully charged, its charger continues to drain power. Manufacturers recommend that chargers are turned off, but people often forget or use them overnight. The Savasocket Mobile senses when a phone – or anything else that needs recharging, such as an iPod or a laptop – is fully charged, and switches off the power. The Savasocket Mobile protects batteries from over charging, giving them prolonged life, especially in the case of laptops.

- After ignoring initial power "spikes", power usage is monitored for 60 second periods. If a drop of 66% or more is detected, power is cut to the charging device. Even if the phone itself is removed from the charger cable, the charger continues to use power. The fact that they get hot when left plugged in is an indication of the power they use. Most chargers do lessen their power consumption when an attached device is fully charged, but some older models are particularly badly behaved and continue to use as much electricity as when charging. In this case, Savasocket Mobile will disconnect power after 3 hours. A small low energy LED indicates the power state of the Savasocket Mobile - green for on, intermittent flashing red for off.
