Just watch out for battery degradation, at some point the % shown will not mean anything.

Even at 100% the battery won't be able to give enough power to even stay ON unless plugged in all the time. This is why we need removable and easily replaceable batteries as most devices are 2-3 years of regular use will have a degraded battery.
