Wrong... a charge cycle is from 0-100% and it doesn't matter how you do it e.g. 50% to 100% = half charge cycle, do it again and that'll be one in total... For more info on correct usage of Lithium polymer batteries, try google for tech specs or read the battery/charging threads here.

The batteries do have a limited number of charge cycles of around 300-400 plus and this roughly works out to around 5-8 years of usage regardless of how incremental your charging...
