A LiIon battery like in the PowerBook Wallstreet is good for about 1,000 charge cycles. Even if you discharge the battery only a fraction of its capacity and then charge it again, this will count as a charge cycle. You reduce the lifespan of the battery significantly when charging it again before it's empty.
