Extract from here http://batteryuniversity.com/partone-5.htm:

"Aging is a concern with most lithium-ion batteries and many manufacturers
remain silent about this issue. Some capacity deterioration is noticeable
after one year, whether the battery is in use or not. The battery frequently
fails after two or three years.
