And they go on to say on another page:
They work this well because we use cylindrical cells in our batteries which can be drawn down 100%. If a battery can’t be drawn below 80%, it most likely contains prismatic pouch cells, which can lead to a shorter lifespan of about 900 cycles if continuously discharged.
I agree with it is confusing when most companies do not state type of cells used in there lifepo4 battery..i can't seem to find any other comparison to 100% discharge between the two types of cells other than from Battleborn...I wish they listed cell type and BMS manufacturer..
If you dig deep enough and search hard you'll find what type somewhere.
Once again BB wants to sell batteries so for folks that don't research and just follow the flock they give half truths.
My cell info from the manufacturer.

2,000 at 80% DoD more if you use shallower cycles.
