> it uses some that battery API as a heuristic for a lower-power version of the site?

As a naive user I would expect websites to not be able to receive information about my battery state. With that information they can track my mobile phone usage pattern, and with some cross-referencing gain even more specific private information.

I think it is great that the API exists, but it is not great, that no permission from the user is needed to access it.
