A couple things I could touch on here: -> The primary driver of degradation is cycling. A battery can (in theory) sit on a shelf and lose charge without 'aging' (degrading) the battery. -> It will still charge to nominal voltage - as a battery approaches full charge, its internal resistance...

What they used to do was simply measure the voltage of the battery pack, but this is unreliable as it varies long term with things like age and even short term with things like temperature (among many others). Most modern batteries owe their accuracy to what is called coulomb counting, if you...
