What is Cycle Life?
The number of times a battery can be fully charged and discharged before its capacity significantly degrades.
Measured in cycles
Definition
Cycle life is a measure of the battery's longevity, indicating how many full charge-discharge cycles it can withstand before its total usable capacity drops below a certain percentage (usually 80%). For example, a cycle life of 3000 means the battery can be fully used 3000 times.
Why It Matters
Directly impacts the lifespan and long-term value of your power station. A higher cycle life means the battery will maintain its efficiency for many years of regular use.
What to Look For
2000+ cycles for long-term use; 3000+ cycles for professional or daily heavy use.
