Guide to power off the Pinephone Pro on low battery - Ulfnic - 02-04-2022
I wrote a low-power-off BASH script for the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro to help prevent over-discharge by forcing a power-off below a certain capacity.
It loops through all power sources the kernel is aware of and enforces a minimum capacity rule that powers off the system if a battery is below a certain threshold (default: 5%) and not charging.

My method is a little different. I take my spare battery out of the external charger and swap it out.
Seems to work really well and it is just one of the things I can do with my PPPee that Iphones can't do.

What's beautiful is the ability to carry a spare battery around in your wallet.

Love the idea. Between that and my power banks, I'd practically have to go out of my way to lose power while on the move.
