We know a lithium-ion battery can be charged X amount of times. Let's say 500 times. Now if you charge the Voyage 500 times you get twice the life of the Oasis where 500 times would be 1/2 the time.

Now, in reality, the Oasis battery is 1/5th the size so it could very well be less than 1/2 the time of the Voyage.

Now if anyone can prove I am wrong, please do so in this thread.
As has already been explained several times, your reasoning fails to take into account several factors which influence LiIon battery lifetime, such as charge-cycle depth and peak cell charge voltage.
