Since you did not take the time to edit your original post, instead you chose to copy it directly over, it seems only appropriate to clarify your quote of my other post from another thread so that it is not misconstrued.

Thanks Intermountain Trust, not sure why you believe i have a lack of information or research, but lets shed some light here on your info.

BTW - very good info, thank you for contributing.

Current battery technology has only so many "Cycles" of charge. As i posted which you misunderstood, not "Cycles" as per a memory effect, which is what your evidence is referring to, but each time you charge i am using the term cycle. I can understand why you read the posted info and took with it a different meaning

For example:

these are both clearly a statement in regards to "Memory Effect". "Cycling" as i put it is something completely different and has zero to do with charging capacity. Instead we are talking about overall charging lifespan here.

Li-Ions cannot be overcharged due to the protection internally as stated. However repeated insertion into a charger will decline the overall lifespan of the battery due again to its finite amount of charges it will take. These are 2 totally different statements in regards to "Cycling".

True to keep its overall output. As i have stated in referance to a "Memory Effect". Again this in no way referances the overall amount of times the battery can be charged.

Thank you, this summerizes my point exactly as for charging "Cycles". As you can clearly see here the author states the exact point we are discussing.

Please bear in mind that "1000" is not a hard and fast number - it's an approximation of expected drain/charge patterns in an "average" environment. Your mileage will vary.

Excellent point. Real world conditions can be very different from lab situations (statement of 1000 is based in lab conditions).

Li-ion and Li-ion Polymer can be really different in their behaviour even though they are both in the Li-ion family.

Again, great info. Thank you for helping me explain and validate my statement about "Charging cycles".
