    Not what you’re talking about, but reminded me of this: https://diewithme.online/

    It’s an app that you can only use when your phone is at 5% battery or less, and allows you to chat with other users who also only have 5% battery left.

    Could probably use this to build what you’re talking about.

      Sounds like a conspiracy by big lithium to sell more batteries. :P

      But in all seriousness, consistently deep cycling a Li-ion battery is bad for longevity.

      If you plan on keeping your phone for more than two years, try to keep your charge between ~30 and 80% whenever conveniently possible. Or simply enable the “battery protection” feature on your device (if it has such a setting, most newer Android devices should have it). I almost never let my battery go below 30%.

      I’d also recommend installing AccuBattery so that you can monitor changes to your battery’s capacity over time and see real-world results for your charging habits.
