Funny. This company likes to get brownie points for being environmental. We all know that those batteries are not guilt-free when it comes to the environment. They're wasting our earth's precious resources by putting extra capacity which may never be used ;-)

This is kind of an absurd point because it's not obvious that manufacturing different types of batteries would actually be more environmentally friendly.

More complicated logistics could also be detrimental to the environment.

It results in lower depth of discharge which might result in the battery lasting far longer than the higher capacity one.
I think the environmental aspect is a key point.
