You have a source for that 2000 cycle number?
In reality, with somewhat deep discharges, the number is actually closer to 600-700, before experiencing significant capacity losses of ~15-20%.
At 2000 cycles, I'd imagine the capacity to be somewhere in the range of 50% of initial. Now that doesn't matter for utility scale, because you can easily keep that 50% pack in operation, as long as your total capacity stays the same (adding new packs), but for smaller scale, it's quite significant.
Look up Nissan Leaf range degradation and you'll see what I mean.
- yardie 10y agoI'm actually a Leaf shopper so I have looked into it. From what I understand the degradation comes from the older design being aircooled. In southern climes this won't work for long. The Leafs from 2015 are using a liquid-cooled pack. Older models are getting them replaced under warranty.
