A good point.. and a big concern.  Unfortunatly Dynasty doesn't put any
information on cycle life in their spec sheets.  None of the battery
manufacturers do, (Optima has a blurb that in EV service to 20%DOD, cycle
life is >200 cycles. Not terribly useful.)

There was a conversation about them earlier this month, but I haven't
heard from anyone with more than a few dozen cycles on them.
