This is amazing. A fully charged cell could last nearly 30 years at that rate!

No it was dead several months after my last post. Amazingly when the LED goes out I was still able to charge the cell on the charger.
I tossed the cell after but I had to try to see what would happen. It actually charged to 4.15V and seems to be working fine LOL.

I didn't even know about this test but that's really impressive! It's almost a relief to know that it finally died and yet slightly disturbing that it charged back up to 4.15V. It seems that it's pretty hard to kill a cell after all.
