will battery casings increase the lifespan (not standby/active use) of phone's built-in battery?

As batteries are built into mobile phones nowadays & to replace them
requires it to be brought to the workshop who has the tools to change
them,  I'm thinking of getting battery casings so as to reduce the
number of charge+discharge (that is what typically reduce the lifespan
of batteries.

Specifically I'm looking at Galaxy note 9 ie batteries like those below:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GB5R27M/ref=psdc_7073958011_t1_B07H3256JB
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H3256JB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2QAZ8RQ4KWQ44&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071NWVT9M/ref=psdc_7073958011_t2_B07H3256JB 

Q1:
Am I right or mistaken?  With above battery cases, will the phone  charge
directly from the casings' batteries rather than charging from the built-in
batteries?

Q2:
Or it'll shorten the built-in battery's lifespan instead as the casings will
charge the built-in battery whenever the built-in battery goes down by
1-2%, thus maximizing the number of charge+discharge cycles?

Q3:
Any other ways to increase life span of built-in batteries?  Understand
we should let it discharge till almost 1-2% before charging it up again
& we should always charge it to the max of 100%: this is a known
good practice but often this is rather inconvenient & risk discharging
completely, resulting in phone being powered off, missing crucial
calls/messages.

What I do know is if laptops are frequently being left connected to
AC or even an external powerbank (Hyperjuice, Vinsic Warrior with
AC output ports) sources, it certainly reduces the number of charge
+discharge cycles (as measured by BatteryInfoView software) &
increases the laptop's life span.

Alternatively, question is if we leave the phone plugged into AC (or
external power supply) constantly when it's at 100%, will the built-in
battery still come down or it'll remain at 100%?

I've noticed at 100%, the charging stops.

Guess the answer is probably found below:
https://sea.pcmag.com/smartphones/19135/charging-your-phone-overnight-battery-myths-debunked

extract from above link:
"If you leave the smartphone plugged in overnight, it's going to use a bit of energy constantly trickling new juice to the battery every time it falls to 99 percent. That is eating into your phone's lifespan (see below)."

Is there any app that will stop the charging & only kick in the battery
charging when it hits about 20-30% & then stop charging when it
hits 80%?

or it makes more sense to
get those casings when
built-in battery cant hold
charge well anymore?
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
