You've just contradicted yourself. And the rest of this is wrong too.

If you overcycle the battery, you'll reach that 500 cycles much faster.

Also, draining the battery to 50% turns out to be less than half a cycle.

If you can keep the charge between about 40% and 80% you'll get a lot more than double the partial cycles out of it than if you drain it all the way to 5% and then charge to 95% every single time, which will probably end up giving you a lot less than 500 cycles before you start seeing life shortening.

And there are a lot of other bad habits that can damage the battery or severely shorten its life. The fastest way to kill a battery is to leave it in a hot car for a couple of hours. A lot slower way is to drain it to 5% and then leave it uncharged for a couple of months, which will almost certainly kill it permanently.
