How accurate is the termux-battery-status
"health": "GOOD"
Indicator?
I think this was previously
"condition" maybe.
My phone's previous battery had its charge capacity reduced to less than 1 hour .
termux -battery-status
still showed
"health": "GOOD",

Answered by agnostic-apollo

The condition never existed. Health is provided by battery/kernel. Any usable/safe battery will be GOOD.

Check BATTERY_HEALTH_* constants at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/BatteryManager#BATTERY_HEALTH_COLD
