Thanks! But is ''enough of the..'' possible in other contexts? Is it even idiomatic ?

It is not natural, but most people would get your meaning.

The idiomatic expression is "There's enough juice left in the battery for another short call."

I think you misunderstood what I meant, I meant if ''enough of the'' itself is idiomatic and can be used in other contexts?

MustAsk I meant if enough of the itself is idiomatic
I suppose that it can be used in this way:

Is there enough of the cake left over for dessert tomorrow?

But most people would just say:
Is there enough cake left over for dessert tomorrow?
