I just wish mine was a bit quieter mechanically below 45/50mph !
But it does force me to use and generate charge as much charge as possible.

I've also read a few times recently of typical battery life (of various brands) being around 80% at 10 years old. That suggests it might still be 66% at 15 years old. Can't see many people worrying much beyond that as being an issue !
