My Thinkpad is 6¼ years old and the batteries it shipped with are at 72 and
75 % of their original capacity. But I didn’t use them *that* much, and
always kept them betweet 40 and 80 % charge when I didn’t need them, which
is probably 98 % of the year.

I don’t believe that they went down to 25 % of their original capacity
within a year. To achieve that, they must have endured unspeakable abuse.
