Charge Status Extension

Never run out of power again: Charge Status is the easiest way to monitor the charging status and battery level on your computer or mobile device.

Charge Status provides simple monitoring of your charging status and battery level from anywhere. Find us online at https://www.chargestatus.com

Features:
* Easy to read display of charging status and battery levels.
* Configurable low and critical battery levels.
* Browser notifications and (optional) audio alerts when the battery drops below the configured low or critical battery level.
* Displays battery level in browser toolbar when battery level drops below configured low or critical level.
* View battery levels for all your Chrome-equipped computers and Chromebooks from one dashboard (requires optional Charge Status online account).
* Support for multiple Charge Status accounts.

Getting Started:
1. Install the Chrome extension from the Chrome webstore (right here!).
2. Click on the extension icon in the browser toolbar to open the extension management page.
3. To customize the low and critical battery levels, as well as the alert settings, select the Profile tab.
4. To use the optional Charge Status online account to let you monitor your charging status and battery level, select the Connections tab and then click New to link your Chrome extension to an account on https://www.chargestatus.com.

Frequently Asked Questions:
* Does the extension require a Charge Status online account?
No. The Charge Status online account is only required to view charging status and battery level information from your other computers and devices, or to view the charging status and battery level of this computer from another computer.

* How much battery is consumed by the Charge Status extension?
Minimal battery is consumed: updates only occur when Chrome updates the battery level or if the charging status changes. If you do not link to a Charge Status online account then no network usage occurs at all.

* Does my computer have to be connected to the Internet to use Charge Status?
Only to send remote updates or to receive charging status and battery level updates from other computers. Low/critical level alerts do not require an Internet connection.

* Can I view my charging status and battery level on my phone?
Yes. Once you link your Chrome extension to an online account at https://www.chargestatus.com, you can log into https://www.chargestatus.com from your phone to view your charging status and battery level.

* Can I view my phone's charging status and battery level on my computer?
Not yet: Android and iOS apps are currently under development. Check back soon!
