i.e. circuitry? Your trust is misguided.

Your laptop explicitly has a circuitry to look at every cell and refuse to overcharge any particular one. Your cell phone only has one cell and therefore there's no need for any sort of balancing circuit.

The Magicshine has no balancing circuit whatsoever. I do believe it has some protective circuits on each cell, but they're pretty fragile and unreliable.
