My 3gs is still running great after all this time. But the battery is at 400 cycles already according to apple diagnostic.

So what happens after its completely dead (1000 cycles or whatever the limit is)? Do I still get to use it if I plug into the wall and it bypasses the battery? Or does it show the dead battery lightning symbol if it is dead and does not boot up even with ac? Anybody ever have a dead battery and try?
