    The excepted practice is to drain it down to about 20%, at least once a month, and then fully charge it. Otherwise, just charge when you need to.

    I always take mine down to 20 - 15% and then charge it back up to 100&. There has been once or twice I have let it run completely flat and then charged it up to 100% straight way which I have heard you are only meant to do that once a month... so I have heard
    Regards,

    Had been discussed already
    You can get all the answers here:

    How frequently do you charge?
    Think before you Sync Since you may Sink
    The More Tweaks you have - Less Memory is left
