I can't answer authoritatively, but when you need to do the charge cycle thing, the need will probably be quite obvious from erratic and suboptimal behaviour of the battery. Other than that, I gather that it is good to do at least one full drain/charge cycle once in a while (say, every month or three) to keep the calibration of the battery monitoring circuits in shape.
