A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it
is positive, neutral or negative. However, when posting, one must stay true to the topic, and not just share some
random thoughts, which are not directly related to the matter.
Things that are NOT allowed:
Off-topic talk - you must stick to the subject of discussion
Offensive, hate speech - if you want to say something, say it politely
Spam/Advertisements - these posts are deleted
Multiple accounts - one person can have only one account
Impersonations and offensive nicknames - these accounts get banned
To help keep our community safe and free from spam, we apply temporary limits to newly created accounts:
New accounts created within the last 24 hours may experience restrictions on how frequently they can
post or comment.
These limits are in place as a precaution and will automatically lift.
Moderation is done by humans. We try to be as objective as possible and moderate with zero bias. If you think a
post should be moderated - please, report it.
Have a question about the rules or why you have been moderated/limited/banned? Please,
contact us.
One thing people don't talk about enough as a group, although some mention here, is the combination of cycle life, actual battery life, and residual battery capacity.
As stated clearly in this article, cycle life in the number of times the battery can go from 0% to 100% to 0%, while still retaining 80% of its original capacity. So, it is FAR from useless at that point. If you have a battery with a cycle life of 1,200, that means 1,200 days (~3.25Years) if you did the 0 to 100 to 0 every day. But no one does that!
If you average only dropping to 50% every day, that means 2,400 days, or ~6.5 years of essential "battery life" before you hit 80% of original capacity. And again, that battery is far from useless then.
But here's the point often missed: A silicon carbon battery usually offers something like 20%+ more energy density than a graphite anode battery to start with. So, wherever you hit the 80% of original capacity (let's call it at least 6.5 years for most users), the battery you have left is as good as a BRAND NEW graphite-based battery.
