This only account for Lithium-ion batteries with an online fuel gauge (eg laptops) I believe this is a built-in system in the battery with led's that indicate its level of charge.
The tabel in the end says there is no additional maintainance needed. Li-Ion batteries should not be discharged completly once in a while, shallow discharges are best.

For NiMH batteries: "Discharge to 1V/cell every 3 months to prevent memory."
I believe that would be untill the device shuts down.
