My understanding (which may not be correct) is that Lithium Ion batteries have about 500 full cycles charges in them, so if you fully charge it to 100% and run it down to zero you are reducing the lifespan of the battery.
The range is 300-1200 from what I've read. This depends on the QUALITY of BOTH the battery AND charger.
We the consumer have no idea what either of these are; we are really just trusting companies will implement proper quality control measures. For a company like Tesla they seem to be interested in making sure quality is good with respect to batteries and chargers For our phones and DAPs this is highly unlikely to be the case. So if you want your device to last for a while, then treat the battery AND charging methods properly. If you get rid of your stuff every year or two then do whatever you like!
