If an electric battery loses from its original storage capacity it means that its chemical or physical structure changes - and that is impossible... Still it is our everyday experience that batteries lose from their original capacity with time... How can you explain that?
I think when an electric battery is charged and then run empty it is also heated and then cooled - just like when a blacksmith transforms iron into steel... When iron is being transformed to steel the contaminations of coal are burnt out from it... This process is good for the flexibility but I guess iron has got a better electric storage capacity: electric magnets have got an iron core and no steel core e.g. So there may be a change in the chemical and physical structure of batteries, too...
I think it is just - elsewhere desired - flexibility that spoils electric storage capacity: physically more flexible batteries may get rid of their electron cloud easier than batteries that are not "run in" yet... The occurance might be similar to solar flairs: the matter of the battery just throws away its additional or superflous electron coat...
How could you make "run in" batteries soft again? I think one or more adjustable screws through the batteries that could deform the batteries a little were able to restore the original softness and so the original electric storage capacity... This method wouldn't mean an eternal battery life either - but you could expand the lifetime of this disposable car part, too...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
