And that is the 50% number. if you recharge at 25%, you are at 500-625 full charges, and if you charge at 10%, you are at 375-470 full charge cycles.

Yes. It might make more sense to look at total power over time. Take a 1000 mAh (1 Ah) battery. Assuming 100% DoD and 300 cycles it can store and deliver 300 Ah over its life. Assuming 50% DoD and 1200 cycles (from 50% to full) it can store and deliver 600 Ah. And assuming 25% DoD and 2000 cycles (from 75% to full) it can deliver 500 Ah. Bear in mind that these are idealized figures which do not account for wear over time and other factors but it's enough to get the idea across.
