Happened with my Nexus6P as well. ZeroLemon sells a huge battery case on Amazon (at least, they used to, you should check) that I used to keep the thing working as long as I possibly could (other than the battery I loved that phone!) But finally, less than a month ago I remembered that I had purchased the extended warranty on mine, and got a new Pixel XL for $80.

Update: apparently out of stock, possibly discontinued. Link below anyway.

@taigrr yeah, I love this phone too for being so hackable because everything's open source.. but the battery, that turd never fails to infuriate me. On my tablet I can go on a single charge for up to a week, whereas on this Nexus I'd be happy if I can get 2 hours out of her. Hopefully I'll be able to replace its battery without breaking anything 😐
It's here 😀 Now I can resume testing my projects peacefully on real device instead of that crashing Android...
Oh GODDAMIT Nexus!!!
You gotta love it when you're in a hurry, unlock the fucking phone while it is plugged in to the goddamn charger, and the bloody thing just fucking shuts down because the battery is apparently empty. WHEN YOU HAVE A FUCKING 15 WATT CHARGING CABLE STUFFED UP YOUR BUTT?!!
You know Google, if I wanted an iPhone battery with tons of little "features", don't you think that I would've bought a fucking iPhone?!
