So I guess the bottom line is that I can charge my iPad as often as I like, 
such as every night, and it won't affect the number of complete 
charge/discharge cycles.

In my case, at least so far, I have not been using the iPad very much, so it 
would be a nuisance to charge it every night.  Hopefully there is no problem 
with only charging it every few days, or even just once a week, if I'm only 
using 5-10% of the charge per day.

Thanks,

Gregg
