Thanks for the added clarity. Being able to charge from below 50% without damaging cycle life is huge. Would be great to see some cycle life charts showing GBatteries vs traditional chargers.

One of the other challenges you may face is the lack of consumer knowledge about how charging affects cycle life. Since consumers tend to charge batteries in ways that dramatically reduce cycles, this is potentially huge.

Figuring out how to create demand from consumers will be very important as OEMs don’t really have any motivation here. Cycle life isn’t published nor really considered by consumers when they buy devices with rechargeable batteries.
