That's not completely accurate. The battery is a Li-Ion cell. And yes, each time you connect, it is a partial charge. But, they are cumulative. So, 10 partial charges of 10% is roughly the same as a 100% charge cycle. That means if you connect and top up each day, it isn't any different than connecting once a week. In fact, it is generally better to do shallow discharge/recharge cycles for a Li-Ion battery and completely discharge them will shorten their life.
