Interesting. So, if the cell "loses" 30% of it's lithium, does that mean its capacity decreases by 30%. Or, perhaps more correctly, if typical first cycle loss is 9% and initial high current charging results in a 30% loss, then does that method result in a 21% lower capacity cell than one with a slow initial charge ?

Is the following a correct interpretation of this effect ? If a battery's lifespan is measured as the accumulated kWh (call it L) it discharges till its capacity drops to 70% of its declared capacity, then a battery that lasts 50% longer would have roughly 1.5 times the accumulated kWh discharged, or 1.5L. However, it it looses an additional 21% at the beginning, then the net accumulated kWh would be about 80% of 1.5L or 1.2L. Is that what they mean by "extends their lifespan" ?

Subject: [EVDL] EVLN: Improving lithium cycle life

 Researchers from the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center (formerly Stanford
 Linear Accelerator Center) said that charging lithium-ion batteries
 for the very first time at unusually high [rates] extends their
 lifespan by an average of 50% and up to a maximum of 70%.
