  LIthium-Ion batteries don't have the priming or 'charge memory' like Nickel-Cadmium does, so you don't have to worry about that draining fully issue etc. However, Lithium-Ion have a set number of optimal charge cycles, typically 400-500. So if you charge it sooner than needed, you're consuming cycles and potentially shortening the life a little.
