Seems nobody wants to supply a more accurate figure. Batteries are affected by so many factors (temperature, load, SOC, etc) that most manufacturers simply don't want to commit to any sort of figure.
It is impossible on Lithium ion to quote a fixed number. Partial discharge recharges don't count the same as full discharge recharges, unlike some earlier technologies.
