charge cycles
Recharge count limit
A charge cycle is one complete discharge and recharge of a rechargeable battery.
Battery lifespan is often measured in charge cycles—a laptop battery might be rated for 500 cycles before capacity degrades significantly.
A cycle doesn't require draining to zero; using 50% twice counts as one cycle.
My phone battery is degrading after two years of charge cycles.
