The percentage is greater in nickel-based batteries, but there is still some in li-ion. And within li-ion batteries there are "dumb" types, which have no degradation, but will lose capacity; and "smart" types which have some degradation, but only around 5-10% compared to nickel-based 25-30%. Keep that in mind when buying your next laptop batteries.
