Yes, I understood. As I said earlier in the thread, I have a portable
battery pack of 20,000 mAh, which is kinda hefty.
I still want a new battery, even if I end up lugging that charger
around, or buying some smaller 5K mAh or whatever.

Yes, there are apps that will show you battery usage by app (I believe
it's also built in to the OS now, as well).
