Nope, didn't find the time to do the expected >500 charge/discharge cycles ;-) Honestly, this is nothing FR or OM specific. Considerations valid for all LiIon batteries apply here as well. AFAIK, it's much more important not to push the last electron into the battery that might fit in here, than to charge with lower current. Some notebooks allegedly have a "treat battery nice" option, that stops charging at ~75%..90%. You could do this by adjusting the Vbat-max setting of PMU. Til now, nobody cared about it yet. cheers jOERG PS: have a Nokia with a LiIon accu that's 7 Years old now, 100% uptime. Still is good for 70% of initial capacity. So yes, obviously LiIon *can* have longer live than just 2 years.
