It's just a routine I've got into really, they go flat at the end of the day so I naturally recharge ready for their next days use!

Once every 2 or 3 days. I use my iPad at least 2 hours per day.

I can't believe the battery life. I watched 4 episodes of House, the whole Star Trek in HD, played Myst and Fruit Ninja, surfed the web, did some emailing and read a book with Nook and was still on 15%!

I will try to wait until well below 20% unless I expect to take it with me for long waits like car shop or Dr.s office then I charge it early. Sometimes it takes a week to run it down that far.

How often do you charge your iPad (or iPhone/iPod)'s battery?
EDIT: I typed hare instead of charge in the question (autocorrected!) Sorry, I mean charge!

I seldom let it run down less than 50 percent. More i keep it on charge, the less the number of charge cycles, and so more battery life. Right?

Wrong-ish. Charging from 50% to 100% twice is equal to 1 full recharge cycle. But it does save you panicking when you see the dreaded 20% message on the screen.
