"Linogy is a rechargeable battery ecosystem built around 1.5 V Li-ion AA and AAA cells plus an all-in-one smart station. The station lives on a desk or shelf, acting as a battery tester, fast charger, and organizer case that holds up to 40 cells. The goal is to replace the random drawer with a single, visible place where all your batteries live and get managed."
"Disposable alkalines are convenient but add up to billions of cells tossed each year, along with tens of thousands of tons of waste and CO₂. Ni-MH rechargeables solve part of that but bring their own quirks: 1.2V output that some devices dislike, high self-discharge, lower energy density, and slow charging that makes topping them up feel like a chore you keep postponing."
"Linogy's cells pack around 3,600mWh and deliver stable 1.5V, closer to what devices expect from alkalines, so performance and battery indicators behave more predictably. The cells are rated for up to 1,200 cycles, meaning one rechargeable can stand in for roughly 1,200 disposables over its life, and built-in protection layers handle overcharge, short circuit, and drop impacts without leaks or smoke."
"Dropping a mix of AA and AAA cells into the station, it automatically detects type, health, and charge level. The e-ink display shows which batteries are full, which are charging, and which are ready to retire, without bright LEDs or guesswork. A full charge takes around three hours, and once topped up, the station stops charging and simply holds the cells until something needs power."
Linogy pairs 1.5V Li-ion AA and AAA rechargeable cells with an all-in-one smart station that holds up to 40 cells. The station acts as a tester, fast charger, and organizer while automatically detecting cell type, health, and charge level. An e-ink display indicates which batteries are full, charging, or ready to retire. Linogy cells store about 3,600mWh, deliver stable 1.5V, and are rated for up to 1,200 cycles with built-in protections against overcharge, short circuits, and drop impacts. Full charges take around three hours, and the station stops charging when cells are topped up.
