  1. Re:Only 300 recharges? by Chairboy · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    Your 87 day has a lot wrong with it. First, it doesn't account for the time it takes to recharge the battery. Second, it assumes that some crazy eyed bandit is charging the battery, then unplugging from the wall and running it down to 0% while cackling madly, then replugging it into the wall.

    A modern Lithium Ion battery can only be recharged about 100 times before it starts to fail rapidly, and the charge from those lasts 2-3 hours.

    How, exactly, is this supposed to be bad again? Oh yeah, you're an idiot.
