I never claimed anything like. You demonstrate dirty sophistry there.

The issue is not that battery degrades, it is that their phones could not handle it and shut off when charge still remained. 2 years is a very little time. None of the devices with batteries I had exhibited that behavior. And I have devices that are over 5 years old in regular use.

It’s not faulty devices, and a quick google search will show you that cell phone batteries have a lifespan of 2-3 years in average.

The capacity of the battery was the issue, unless you’re talking about a different issue. Older batteries were unable to meet the power demands.
