"The chemicals in Lithium-Ion batteries respond best to regular recharging. So if you have a Cellphone, don’t keep it plugged in all the time; go ahead and let it drain to about 40 or 50 percent of capacity, and then recharge.
The life of a Lithium-Ion battery can be measured in charge cycles. A charge cycle occurs when 100% of a battery’s capacity is used. Let’s say you use 50% of your Phone’s battery one day, charge it overnight, and then you use 50% of the battery again the next day. Even after charging it back up again, you’ll have only had one charge cycle occur."

Like you I havent heard that either. The article was published in 2007, so I question its accuracy judging by how technology changes so rapidly. Sure Li_Ion batteries may not have changed drastically, but I have heard so many different theories on battery life I dont know what to believe anymore. However this is one particular theory I have never heard before so I personally put no stock in this particular one.
