They have life span of about 400 charging cycles, which gives your device a couple of years before the battery won't work anymore. I am sure, we will have upgrade before that happens.
The figure of 400 charging cycles seems to be a conservative one stated by the manufacturer just to be on the safe side.

If you read the following article it would appear that if you recharge regularly a figure approaching 5000 charge cycles is possible. It seems it is all dependant on the point at which you recharge and the temperature the battery is regularly subjected to.

Luckily high temperatures are a problem we do not have here in the UK - often!
