Thanks, interesting.

Specific electrolyte additives and temperature control in the field
are critical to product longevity.

Paraphrasing a new rule of use; minimise temperature while battery
voltage is high.

Or even simpler; minimise voltage, and minimise temperature.

He describes the underlying causes and methods to test for the
mechanism of degradation.  Measuring the heat gain or loss during a
cycle is nice.
