New phone battery strategy; top up, or fully drain?

[Schlubbe]

What's the current thinking on this? I was regularly putting the old S7edge on the wireless charger to top it up, but wondering if that was doing more harm than good.

What's your strategy?

Keeping it topped up is WAY better for it than fully draining it. Frequent shallow discharges and shallow charges are healthier for it than deep discharges and deep charges.

I always try and do 2 cycles 100 down to 2% and then use it regularly

Is that just out of habit from phones years ago or do you think that's necessary/helpful?
