After 12,000 charge-discharge cycles, the gas tank in my car is still at 100% capacity.
The dead battery thing is still interesting because there are so many uses for batteries in so many applications like Uninterruptable Power Supplies. Even 10000 cycles would be completely amazing.

It would be a waste of a high recharge cycle battery to use one on a UPS system. we specify batteries designed for UPS applications. For that type of system you want something a long service life at idle without losing capacity and high energy storage for the longest power in hopefully, infrequency power outages. high cycle batteries are very useful applications that have many deep cycles like an EV or renewable energy storage. High quality LFP is good for 5000 cycles, today.

Xiaomi notes that its prototype features a cell-to-body (CTB) design with a volume efficiency of 77.8%. The battery pack measures only 120 mm (about 4.7 inches) in height, including the vehicle floor, enabling better space utilization and improved weight distribution. It delivers a CLTC-rated range of over 745 miles and supports fast charging that adds 500 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
