Battery status API gated by feature policy provides developers with a way to control the availability of this API.

Motivation

The Battery Status API provides a way to check host device battery status. This might be important e.g. for applications which need to ensure enough power is available for completing a task. Unfortunately this kind of API can be misused for fingerprinting, profiling etc. By gating the Battery Status API using a feature policy, developers will be able to disable this API within their applications, and in third-party components.
