I was of the view that charging the phones battery should be as infrequent as can be managed. That is charge it from almost 0% to 100% and than again so on. And many of my friends were also of same view. But below article informs the correct way to charge battery  (LI battery).

• Li batteries are afraid of heat. The higher the temperature, the faster it loses capacity over time.
• Li batteries are afraid of being empty. The emptier it is, the faster it loses capacity over time.
• Li batteries are afraid of being full. The fuller it is, the faster it loses capacity over time.
• Li batteries are afraid of being overcharged (charged more than full) or short circuited. If it gets charged too much, it gets bloated due to chemical reactions in the cell.
• Li batteries are afraid of being over-discharged (use more energy than the battery is willing to give). If it gets discharged too much, it gets bloated due to chemical reactions in the cell.
• Li batteries are afraid of being ruptured. If the internals are exposed to air, it catches fire and burn.
• Li batteries keep the scores well. If you charge from 50% to 100% twice, that is considered one charge cycle, not 2.
