Do those "Smart Chargers" work?

[AWF_Noone]

Do the charges that claim they will automatically stop charging your device once it is fully charged to prevent overcharge actually work?
Should I trust one of these to charge my stuff overnight?

 

Thx

What devices do you want to charge?

[AWF_Noone]

I made a cool little dock for my Pebble Time Steel and was thinking of just leaving it on there to charge when It needs it overnight.  I would also be charging an iPhone if this charger can work its magic.

well most charges do that nowadays like my phone charger does that, it stops my phone at 100 and when it gets down to like 98 it charges to 100 again then stops. and so on, 

 

pretty sure they had this technology for a few years now

99% of devices these days already prevent overcharging, ive always left my smartphones, tablets and laptops charge overnight for years

Yeah, almost everything that you can connect to a charger has an overcharge protection these days. But they work, for example my power bank just turns off when device is fully charged to save battery.
