Cycle Life
The number of complete charge-discharge cycles a battery can perform before its capacity drops below a specified threshold (typically 70-80% of original capacity).
Why It Matters
A battery cycling once daily for 10 years completes ~3,650 cycles. LFP batteries rated for 6,000+ cycles can outpace this easily, while NMC at 2,000 cycles may degrade sooner.
Real-World Example
A battery rated for 6,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge would last approximately 16.4 years with one full cycle per day.
