So I charge LiHV to 0.05V less than max to slow the degradation a bit while maintaining a performance advantage over standard LiPo.
But, if you don't need that performance advantage. Would a LIHV charged to 4.2 degrade slower than a LiPo charged to 4.2? And, would the difference between degradation rates be cost effective?
