Don’t forget a “defeat” mode where the system detects you’re a reviewer and really truly does charge to 100%.
100% is always just an arbitrary value chosen by the device or battery manufacturer, there's no 100% level inherent to a battery. Unfortunately there's very few manufacturers that will tell you their estimated number of cycles and none (as far as I know) that will give you the number of cycles as a function of charge percentage.
