That's actually referring to full discharge/recharge cycles, that is going from 100% until the device shuts off. "Topping up" a partially drained battery doesn't have the same effect. Think of it as several partial cycles are equivalent to one full cycle. There's usually no reason to completely drain a rechargeable battery before recharging it.
