I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

My wife successfully replaced her Pixel 6's batter with the iFixit kit. I think the kit was $50. It probably took 3 hours for her.

You are correct. We sell the Pixel 6 repair kit with an OEM battery for $50 and just the battery for $43. We'll be stocking Pixel 8 parts soon. https://www.ifixit.com/products/google-pixel-6-battery-genui...
