It heavily depends on the usage pattern. If you charge in the evening to 100%, let it on the charger overnight and then during the day discharge to 0%, that might kill the battery completely within 2 years.

Keeping it within 20-80% most of the time might keep the battery healthier.



20 is a bit low - I would stay above 40.


Why


Because 20% will still harm a battery (less then 0% obviously), above 40 to 80 approximately the no-harm zone.
