The phone is carried mostly for emergency outgoing calls.

 
Get a cheap flip phone?
 

The iPhone was a hand-me-down for free. The battery cost
about $55 IIRC, after using a couple of years. The original
had started to swell.

 
Charge to no more than 80% for this use case and re-charge if it falls
to 20 - 40%.
 

Ok, I'll give that strategy a try.

Thanks for writing!
