Hi Zatkin,
General advice: please study the materials hosted at the following great "Battery University" website: http://batteryuniversity.com/
The charge and discharge protocols which are best for battery life and capacity depend on the kind of battery.
Certain batteries benefit from being cycled, like NiMh and NiCad. It's not that important for lithium, IIRC.
Some batteries benefit from priming: treating the battery in a certain way when it is brand new, so it lasts longer and performs better over its lifetime.
(I could use a refresher myself; I'm going to study the materials on that website.)
