The limits of the curve are a high stress situation for the chemistry inside, I’m not exactly sure about the mechanism, so take it with a few grains of salt.
Essentially there’s some growths (I think they’re called dendrites) forming slowly, all the time the battery is flowing charge. But it happens more quickly under adverse conditions, like the extreme ends of the voltage/charge spectrum…
Is this also why people say that keeping your charge levels between 20 and 80% extends your battery life?
