Can the conventional wisdom that a lithium-ion ebike batterys charging cycle count is the primary determinant of its overall lifespan be reconciled with the fact that many modern ebike batteries are designed to tolerate a significant number of charge cycles before capacity degradation becomes noticeable?
If the answer is yes, then what specific factors contribute to the discrepancies in charging cycle count tolerance between different ebike battery manufacturers, and how can consumers make informed decisions when selecting an ebike battery based on its charging cycle count?
Furthermore, do the current methods of tracking charging cycle count, such as the commonly used 80% depth of discharge (DOD) benchmark, provide an accurate representation of an ebike batterys actual state of health, or are there more effective ways to monitor and manage ebike battery health that are not yet widely adopted?
