In a sense, the cycle life and performance of LiFePO4 batteries are mutually restricted. Longer battery cycle life may mean some degradation in performance, such as a lower discharge rate. By the same token, shorter battery cycle life may mean better performance. Of course, this is not an absolutely accurate answer, because there will also be LiFePO4 batteries with long cycle life and good performance, and there will also be LiFePO4 batteries with short cycle life and poor performance.
