Number of charge cycles, though, is not the only consideration with a battery. With a lithium battery, for example, the battery "ages" with time; the internal resistance gradually increases, reducing its charge capacity,
regardless of how often it's charged. With a device like an ereader, this ageing effect totally swamps the effect of the number of charge cycles. With something like a laptop, it's the other way around; there, the number of charge cycles is what dominates.
