I think you might consider trying to be a little less patronising. Just because you don't have any problems doesn't mean nobody else does and it doesn't immediately mean people have been doing horrible things to their batteries. 

After all, this is a consumer device and you're not expected to become an expert on battery care to be able to use it for some years. Especially as this list is definitely filled with people more tech-savvy than the average.

My phone lasts for days, but the battery indicator is all over the place and there's definitely a problem with what it shows. In my case it regularly goes from 10% warning to turn off within the space of a minute. It's broken and needs to be fixed. My 5yo iPhone lasts for an hour on 1% when power saving mode is enabled.

Telling people they should have taken better care of their batteries is nonsense and leads nowhere.

> And I don't have any problems. As I once wrote it seems to be because of the way You treat Your batteries. Looks for some info in Internet how to treat a Li-ion battery so that it lasts for ages. I never had any problems with any Li-ion battery. But as I read what some people do with them... do not blame the system. As I know what we see on the display is Voltage, not capacity and that's your answer.
