Drain battery completely?

Do I need to drain my battery completely? I've been charging it when it hits 4-5%

One of the worst things you can do to a Li-ion battery is to run it out completely all the time. Full discharges put a lot of strain on the battery, and it's much better practice to do shallow discharges to no lower than 20 percent.

Well with my dx it lasted me until like 20% after about 16 hours. S3 lasted me 11 hrs after the second night.
