True, but there's more to it than just discharging to completely empty. Li-Ion batteries don't usually like big recharge cycles. Keeping them topped off is a lot better for them than letting them get down to 10% (or whatever the cutoff is) and then recharging from there every time. The farther you have to bring the charge back up, the harder it is on the battery. It won't damage it immediately, but it effects your overall battery life expectancy.
