Battery: 5 year self destruct?

[FixThatBike]

I just saw this posted in another thread. WTF? These batteries will stop working after 5 years even if they are otherwise fine? Is anybody coming up on the 5 year mark?

Planned obsolescence perhaps with YT?

Lithium batteries can certainly last longer than 5 years...

Saw that as well. Really PO'd if that's the case.

Cheers.
