Depending on the conditions of the operator, charge cycles, and temperature, it’s expected that a lithium battery has a lifespan of 2 to 10 years. Lithium battery life is an important consideration both from the point of view of the consumer and a business. A number of elements including temperature, charge cycles and storage conditions are the factors as to why a lithium battery will last longer. While good battery management such as complete discharges and lower environments for the batteries while not in use can help to extend their life, these routines cannot be considered optimal for their longevity.
