So according to you, the more you degrade the battery, the longer it lasts?

Usually you would think that 25000 miles per year over 11 years would degrade the battery faster than the car just sitting around for 11 years.

According to cygv... the more intensely you use the battery, the more miles you get out of it, so kind of yea, the faster you use it, the "longer" it lasts in miles. And this example supports that idea because it was used more intensely than usual and lasted more miles than usual.
