Outside of replacing it when it's dying, is love to have phone batteries in an external charger. Forgot to charge overnight? No problem, swap a fresh one in. Going on a long vacation and lacking a portable charging brick? Bring some spares. Friend's phone dying and your battery is compatible? Loan it to them.
