not in the next few product
cycles.
The limited
cycle life of starter
battery means if you deplete it just once, next time it won't have as much capacity.
This unlikely rating is due to the New European Driving
Cycle (NEDC), which doesn't take into account the electric energy required to fully charge the
battery pack.
(Deep -
cycle batteries, like on golf carts, fork lifts, some boats, some RVs are able to tolerate being discharged deeper and left that way longer than starter
batteries, but they really don't like a high - current draw like for starting an engine.
It maintains the
battery so it doesn't go through large charge / discharge
cycles, which damages the
battery.
The starter
battery does
not allow deep
cycling.
The furiously complicated drivetrain produces a healthy 143mpg on the EU combined
cycle, though like all plug - in cars, that figure is skewed by the test
not accounting for the energy needed to charge the lithium - ion
batteries for engine - free running.
And of course they don't say how many
cycles this
battery will last before delivering < 80 % of it origin capacity.
Nevertheless, with its Atkinson -
cycle gas engine and lithium - ion
battery pack, total range is said to be more than 500 miles, although Ford isn't yet specifying how far it can travel in pure electric mode.
Honda hasn't released the full specs, but we do know that the Indiana - built Insight gets a 1.5 - liter Atkinson
cycle gasoline engine paired with an electric motor and a lithium - ion
battery (tucked under the rear seat so as
not to eat up trunk space).
The use of an alkali - metal anode (lithium, sodium or potassium)-- which isn't possible with conventional
batteries — increases the energy density of a cathode and delivers a long
cycle life.
But I thought that the
battery's stamina might
not have survived such a lengthy life
cycle had the wireless messing around.
There is circuitry within the Vox that monitors and shuts off the charging
cycle whether plugged into the mains or
not, when the
battery has reached a fully charged condition.
The 8481's
battery life runs to nine hours, Acer claimed, and it said that said power pack has a greater longevity than most,
not losing 20 per cent of its capacity after the usual 300 recharge

I'm
not sure yet on how many recharge
cycles the
battery is rated for (I'm guessing it should be good for a few years even if charged daily) and as I write this I'm waiting for a response on RIM as to what the procedure will be on getting the
battery replaced should it ever need to be replaced (my guess is through RIM directly per this information we posted recently that RIM will handle BlackBerry PlayBook warranty directly).

It's true that lithium - ion
batteries diminish in capacity with every charge

battery quicker than usual.
Furthermore, after roughly 500 charging
cycles, your
battery won't charge more than 80 % so naturally, it won't last as long.
