Edit: What ducks said.
There are other factors involved too like ambient temperature, if you're going to put the device into storage for a extended period of time, and so forth.
A really good battery reference can be found at
Battery University. In particular, the section entitled "Prolonged battery life through moderation" in
this article at Battery University tells you how you can prolong the life of any lithium-ion battery.
Apologies for derailing the topic (though I guess this does relate since the PP uses a Li-Ion battery).
