that 10 years is a bit on the very optimistic side of things... Generally, for more power-hungry devices (think phones and tablets), you'll notice a degradation after about a year or so. For a less power-hungry device (such as ereaders), it might be 5 years before you notice a degradation. My BeBook Mini (from around 2009) really started showing its battery age about 2 years ago. It wouldn't hold a charge for more than 2 weeks anymore (default drain, without using it)
