I am agreeing if they can deliver on the 1000 recharge cycles that it would be impressive. I am somewhat skeptical if only for the 1 year warranty. If one could try to get 1000 complete charge cycles before the warranty ends once the battery stops charging fully, to send it in to get a FREE replacement battery change and then get a new warranty of 1 full year on the replacement battery then I might give them some credit. I am betting they won’t fully warranty the replacement battery for an entire year again. If they don’t you are basically left with a $2500-$3000 boat anchor. I say that is proprietary no matter how you slice it.

Well, you’ll never be left with a so-called “boat anchor” — basically because Apple products have a vibrant after-market network of suppliers. Believe me, what users want, there will be suppliers who will give them that exact thing... :-)

Your $3000 laptop is a "boat anchor" if you have to pay for a $129 battery for it? I'd love to see how you maintain your cars.
