+Battery Status of an Android Phone
+==================================
+
+Plug your Android device to a power supply and start this shell script. The script will inform you when the battery is loaded to about 80%. 
+Generally, keeping the battery loaded to 40 - 80% increases its live time.
+The application terminates when this threshold is passed or when the device is not attached to a power supply. 
+As the delay between battery checks is 5 minutes (to reduce power consumption), it may take up to 5 minutes to terminate.
+
+This application is based on Termux which runs a shell script. Termus is a kind of Linux running on Android devices.
+
+What you need is:
+-----------------
+
+**Apps:**
+
+  * Termux: Terminal-Emulator
+  * Termux:API: To access the Android-Functions
+  * Termux:Widget: To place the script as Widget on the Android-Desktop
+
+**Termux Packages**
+
+  * termux-api: from Termux:API
+  * jq: Analysing `json` data. termux-battery-status returns the data in `json` format
+
+Place the script into the folder `~/.shortcuts/tasks`
+
+*It may take up to 1 minute before the result is returned.*
+
+Hints
+-----
+
+  * How can I access device storage with Termux?  
+    Run `termux-setup-storage`. It will ask for permission and once it was granted, it will setup symlinks in directory ~/storage to standard directories like DCIM, Download, etc.
