Jasen Bartlett Said, “people will complain how the duty cycles degrade their battery…” With no justification. The 18650 cells have better than “250-500 duty cycles” and do not “loose [sic] 10% range” due to use for V2G. V2G is a process where the grid has some control over the vehicle charging. If the grid is
