Battery status W3C alignment

[Paul Contat <co...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I did modification about promise polyfill into this
battery-status plugin pull request [1]. I know it's not one of the main
plugin, but battery status was downloaded 1950 time since it's on npm: it's
more than device orientation and just less than media capture and vibration.

So my question is, are you interested with this alignment or is it
preferable to create a third party plugin for this?

Thanks,
Paul Contat

OK, yeah, I just checked that myself.  Since there's no changes, it's still
got the problem of being event-driven and killing your battery.  This is
why we want to deprecate it on Android, since it actually can kill your
phone within an hour if used continuously.

Still, I think we should accept the changes.  Anyone else have any thoughts
on this?

Because this plugin is based on the old one and don't modify the native
side, I think it keeps the same power consumption on Android. Is there any
tools to check that?

I think we want alignment.  However, is the Battery Status plugin still
harmful, as in does it still kill the battery as you monitor its status on
Android? If so, it's probably better that Android not have a Battery Status
plugin.
