That isn’t usually how “cycles” works out, no, unless you deplete the battery completely every day.

- jqpabc123 5y agoI know from experience that a lot of people will recharge every day --- just to be sure. How this will impact their definition of "cycle" is unknown but again; based on my experience with batteries, it won't be good.
- alias_neo 5y agoI think you may be misunderstanding the meaning of "cycle". Charging every night for a 5 day week, from 80% to 100% is 1 cycle (in this crude example). A cycle is not the number of times you plug in a battery to charge, it's a single charge/discharge full to empty and vice versa. There is more to it of course because you never really "empty" a lithium battery, and for longevity it may be configured to never be fully charged to 100%, but that's roughly the point.
