the usable charge after 1,000 charges, and after 500 charges of 50%

Answer 1

To determine the remaining usable charge after a certain number of charges, we need to know the rate at which the battery's capacity is reduced with each charge.

However, if we assume the battery capacity reduces by a fixed percentage with each charge, we can calculate the remaining usable charge after 1,000 charges and 500 charges of 50%.

1) After 1,000 charges:
If the battery loses, for example, 1% of its capacity with each charge, after 1,000 charges, the remaining usable charge would be:
100% - (1% x 1,000) = 100% - 10% = 90%

2) After 500 charges of 50%:
If with each charge, the battery loses 50% of its capacity, after 500 such charges, the remaining usable charge would be:
100% - (50% x 500) = 100% - 250% = -150%

Note: The battery cannot have a negative charge, so it is not possible to have a remaining usable charge after 500 such charges of 50%. This example serves to illustrate that the rate at which the battery's capacity is reduced with each charge is crucial in accurately determining the remaining usable charge.
