I would like to suggest a small additional feature: a counter for the number of battery replacements per device.

Describe the solution you'd like

Battery Notes already stores the date of the last battery replacement. It would be very useful if it could also keep track of how many times the battery has been replaced.

For example:

Last battery replacement: 27 September 2026
Battery replacement count: 3

This could be implemented as an additional diagnostic entity, similar to the existing diagnostic information shown in the documentation (e.g. the "Power outage count").

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi, I'm not really sure what value a replacement count would add.

[torstenettl82-afk]

I think it's important to know whether one device needed to be replaced more often than another (of the same model).

That doesn't work too well when you have added devices at different times, your counts would never relate.
