I think it's the opposite, we should keep the battery always loaded, between 30-70% something like that.

That +/- 70% is sort of the hard part. My new laptop has an automatic setting that will stop charging at 65%. If I'm taking it on a plane I can charge it to 100, but since most of the time it stays plugged in at home, the manufacturer suggests that this setting helps preserve battery capacity over the long term versus keeping it 100% charged.

Anyway, that's what made me wonder about the wisdom of always going out fully loaded.
