Tricky indeed, as the allowable usable capacity affects battery longevity, not to mention that differences in chemistry affect longevity, charge rates, discharge rates, energy density, etc.

Interesting that the Leaf has among the more conservative buffers built in, yet the most rapidly degrading batteries. My sense is they didn't get thermal management right for the chemistry they chose.
