I had seen and found the links below interesting, though it seems the abuse the batteries are subjected to for capacity loss tests are much harsher than in an IH.
For instance, Mooch's tests are 50x continuous cycles of 4A charge and continuous discharge @ 15Amp with 60s between phases, which he admits is harsh, so equates it to 200 charge cycles.
The 7~10 amps for 15~20 second initial heat up + 5 second recovery heat up time between hits a few cycles a day doesn't even tickle these batteries, specially not with the lower internal R., so I'm hoping they'll maintain their initial capacity pretty well specially avoiding deep discharge, overcharge, charging at <1A.
Even so, with my use cases (most of which we share on this thread), and specially since I have a few units around, I'll only be charging these like once a week, so 200 charge cycles for a ~5% DIFFERENCE in battery degradation would take at least 4 years for a battery that performs a (marginally?) bit better to begin with sounds fine to me. Within a year I'll have even more units in the rounds, so charge cycle degradation differences is not much of a concern.
I originally planned to get 2x30Q, 2xHG2, 2xVT6s but VT6's appear to be better for my current use case so I just got them. I may have some other reason to think some other battery is a better idea tomorrow morning, and could have spent the next few years scratching my head about the differences between them. I'm sure I'd be happy with any of the top few batteries, and doubt I'd actually notice much of a difference. Not sure if it's better to have different kinds of batteries around so I can experiment with that, or prefer to have more of the same kind to make it easier to compare other differences between my systems. Not sure it matters too much if I do this or that, as long as I'm enjoying it one way or another
P.S I'm (wildly?
) guessing that I'll be buying more batteries in my future, and I'll probably get different ones to try out next time. Happy for now that I have a bunch of great cells on their way to me

Getting low on a few different parts but have more on order. I will get a few more done off the current Skeletor and JH lists by Christmas, but new requests will not make it.
