Nothing speeds up your steps like a notification on the screen that your battery is low. Ten per cent charge becomes the soundtrack to the night, where your phone goes into “do not disturb” mode and the whole world shrinks to a single address bar.

There is no time to spare in such encounters - only haste, fire, and a moment while the battery still breathes.
