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.

i charge my phone to only 70% and my previous phone (pixel 2xl) after about 5 years of usage had still about 95% of capacity I'm using Accu battery app for alerting when my battery is charged and chargie dongle to cut power when I want to just plug phone for night

Interesting product, thanks for mentioning it, you can limit how much you charge your phone battery the same way as a Tesla.

My Pixel 7 doesn't. It'll slowly charge to 100% if you plugin overnight and have an alarm set, but most of the time I don't need more than 80% as I'm usually at home.
