What battery gets that many? Your comment is the only DDG hit for ["36,500 charge cycles"], and is the only relevant Google hit for ["36,500" "goodenough"].

He lived for 100 years. 365 * 100 = 36500
25 of those years were leap years, so its 36525
I got that it was 365 * 100, but there aren't any batteries that last that long and I'm apparently too literal.
Also presumably he had more charge cycles than that, as I doubt he only had one meal a day.

I won't stop until this joke is dead as a doornail.

I took it to mean sleeping, that wou make it close to the number
Given that he was just a month shy of 101, it still ought to be (with leap years) 365 * 101 + 25 - 30.
