Battery Management When Using Scrcpy with Android

I keep my phone connected to my computer most of the day using Scrcpy. This works great, but continuous charging isn’t ideal for the battery. For better battery longevity, it’s recommended to cycle charging and discharging.

To manage this more efficiently, I created two scripts that automate the process. They ensure that the phone doesn’t stay plugged in all the time but only charges when necessary.

UPDATE:

  • simplified notify-send messages.

Notify-send was a bit complicated.

So far connecting via tcpip, charging and running scrcpy works quite well.

The next view days, testing if all is doing what it should do.
