“Nyobolt’s batteries charge in seconds and last 20,000 cycles.”
MISLEADING
The claim states batteries last 20,000 cycles. However, the official Nyobolt FAQ explicitly states the technology can handle 'more than 10,000 cycles without degradation,' which is significantly different from 20,000. The 'charging in seconds' part is supported by the 'ultrafast-charging' descriptions.
