@Thiruz

charge it whenever you can, a cycle is from 0% to 100%, so if you charge from 80 to 100% its not a cycle just 1/5 of a cycle

With Li-Ion, it is recommended that you charge the battery often. Also, try not to completely discharge the battery too many times as there's the risk it might not fully charge in the future. From time to time, it is also good if you do a calibration by discharging it completely and fully charging it while the device is turned off.
