Battery Charging Animation Eff: Personalization App

Battery Charging Animation Eff is a personalization app by Small Apps Dev that replaces the standard charging indicator with animated effects shown on screen while the phone is plugged in. It has been around since late 2017 and has built a following among people who like to tweak how their device looks.

The appeal is simple: instead of squinting at a small battery icon in the status bar, you get a clear visual confirmation that charging has started. The library currently holds 44 animations, organized into three groups — Energy, Digital, and Fire & Sparks. Energy effects visualize what is happening under the hood, Digital styles suit newer devices, and Fire & Sparks leans cozy and warm. Beyond picking an effect, you can adjust transparency, change the size, reposition it on the screen, and decide whether it appears constantly or only as a brief splash when the charger connects.

Version 1.35, dated November 7, 2025, added 17 new effects, improved app performance, increased the size of effects on the selection screen, and included bug fixes. Earlier releases include 1.34 from June 2024 and 1.32 from June 2023. The download is 8.2 MB and Android 5.0 or newer is required. It is free to use and supported by ads, with no in-app purchases.

What's new

The latest update to Battery Charging Animation Eff, version 1.35 dated 2025-11-07, adds 17 new effects. It also improves app performance, increases the size of effects on the selection screen, and includes bug fixes. The app is listed at 8.2 MB, requires Android 5.0 or newer, and is free with ads. It carries a 2.08 rating from 407 ratings, with 100,000 installs. Earlier versions were 1.34 (2024-06-13) and 1.32 (2023-06-09).

People who enjoy customizing every corner of their home screen and want charging to look interesting; users who like a clear, stylish confirmation that their phone is charging; and anyone with a newer device looking for a futuristic touch.

Set the effect to appear as a splash when you plug in rather than running constantly — it keeps the screen cleaner and reduces unnecessary drawing while the phone sits on the charger.

If you want charging to be more than a tiny icon, this app offers plenty of animations and solid controls at no cost. The ad support and modest user rating are worth weighing, but the variety and customization make it a reasonable pick for personalization fans.
