I've run my Acer laptop for 6 years now simply plugging into the mains at every opportunity when using for an extended period or critical data input. It is fitted with a Lithium Ion battery and maintains enough charge to run for around 85% of new battery capacity. I've charged the battery thousands of times from a partial to almost fully charged condition through daily use. Personally I wouldn't unduly worry about battery condition prior to charging if the battery is Lithium Ion type as long as you are prepared to accept the fact that its ability to retain charge will diminish over time..period.
