I heard it from one of the principal designers of the
batteries for Thinkpads.
From Wikipedia:
"A unique drawback of the Li-ion battery is that its life
span is dependent upon aging from time of manufacturing
(shelf life) regardless of whether it was charged, and
not just on the number of charge/discharge cycles. So
an older battery will not last as long as a new battery
due solely to its age, unlike other batteries. This drawback
is not widely publicised."

Was that Sato-san, or one of his employees? How do you know him, or someone in his group, as they're located in Japan.
