> JFTR: achieving that capacity retention is a question of charge settings. Pretty much any Lithium ion battery can achieve it if you don't charge it to the absolute maximum possible each time. Thats great news - manufacturers who want to ship sealed phones have to charge intelligently. In fact, I'd take this constraint: > There's an exception for batteries that "retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 charge cycles." even further: retain at least 80% of capacity of 5k charges and commit with escrow money to maintain the software for 10 years. If the manufacturer is unable to commit, with money, to a 10 year support cycle, then the must provide at least ability to root the phone without needing manufacturer consent. It would be nice if manufacturers stopped shipping disposable phones...
