Which is a great suggestion. Except that it means you can't actually use the battery for what it is meant for, to run something independent of a wired power source. I mean, if you follow that suggestion, it means you are keeping the battery between 40% and 60% charge which means you are only using about a fifth of the possible runtime. Which basically means you are maintaining the long-term health of the battery so that you don't use it.

Stop worrying, just use the battery as you need to. Anything you do to extend the overall life of Li-Ion basically means you don't actually use it, have to actually work at it, and doesn't necessarily give much benefit.
