I bet they'll conveniently forget to make them have 20 year lifespans when they start actually selling them. Because otherwise that falls into "too good to be true" territory and this is Samsung, a large tech corporation.

There are probably more asterisks than starts inn that statement.

Is 20 years the average? The maximum under ideal circumstances? What would be the effective capacity of the battery at 19 years? What is the maintenance required?
