First off, a great job you did testing the battery, you must have been dying of bordom at some points.
This was going to be my question and I know you've already answered. I'm now onto my 5th battery for one of my laptops. (it's 5 years old now) What I found was it didn' really make too much of a difference how frequently I discharged it, until it was around 9 months old, and then if I discharged it down to below 10% after that it would really kill it and I would need a new one.
It would be great if you continued with the testing for a few more months to see what happens, or perhaps even better, just test it on occasions so you're basically just testing the effects of age and not use.
