So it depends on how the charge cycles are managed. I don’t have that information but I do work extensively with the cells used inside the packs. Best case scenario, you’re getting 2000+ cycles out of a cell before its capacity starts degrading significantly. Worst case is about 100 cycles.
I expect real world behaviour to be closer to worst than best. In weight sensitive applications, you don’t want to be carrying around unused capacity. I think capacity would start to noticeably reduce after around 200 cycles. But without knowing how the bms handle the packs, these are just educated guesses. Of course there are many factors that can impact battery life.
