Any source on this one? Not like I have a source that disproves it but definitely counter to what I have been reading on all battery-saver advises. Thanks.
Yes.
There's a comprehensive tutorial on Li-Ion / Li-Poly batteries here:

Simple Guidelines to Prolong Lithium-ion Batteries

-Do not discharge Li-ion too low; charge more often.
-A random or partial charge is fine. Li-ion does not need a full charge.
I've only referred the contextual page -- however, it's quite interesting to read the complete tutorial [the previous pages, as well as the later]... there's lots to learn.
