What are battery cycle counts?

Battery cycle counts refer to the number of times a rechargeable battery can be discharged and recharged before it starts to degrade in performance. Each time a battery is cycled, it experiences a small amount of wear and tear, which gradually reduces its capacity to hold a charge and deliver power.

For example, if you have a smartphone with a lithium-ion battery, every time you use it and recharge it, it counts as one cycle. The more you use and recharge the battery, the more cycles it goes through, and the shorter its overall lifespan becomes.

Knowing the battery cycle count is useful because it can help you determine the expected lifespan of your device's battery and whether it may need to be replaced. Many manufacturers provide information on the expected number of cycles for their batteries, and some devices even have built-in tools that can track and display the battery cycle count.
