1According to tests by vivo laboratories, the battery retains at least 80% of its capacity after 1460 complete charge cycles. These tests simulate daily user habits (charging and discharging once a day) and indicate that 1460 cycles equal approximately 4 years of usage.

The above data was provided by vivo laboratories according to tests conducted in a simulated environment, with ambient and phone temperatures of 23°C±2°C for a full charge and discharge. Actual results may vary due to differences in test equipment, test environment, and personal usage patterns and habits.
