Open Source Alternatives to Accubattery? (sh.itjust.works)

On my old android, I used AccuBattery but now I'd prefer an open source alternative. I've seen Battery Bot and another called Plus Plus Battery. The former is really old, last updated like 3 years ago and the latter seems like it is in early stage and built for a few brands in particular. What apps do you use to keep track of battery health?

What I'm looking for is keeping track of battery health like AccuBattery does, monitoring charging and discharging cycles, time remaining etc. Basically everything that AccuBattery does. Any ideas?

Batt is the closest I've found

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out. Any chance you used Plus Plus Battery?

I haven't, but did just now. It definitely shows more! I noticed Batt shows a percentage for battery capacity right away, but I guess Plus Plus Battery needs to calculate it over time?

I think accurate results are from a zero to full charge monitoring process. i.e, you need to put the phone through one continuos charging cycle to 100 percent before you can get reliable estimates.
