I really didn't understand your question. But i think you are asking whether we need to charge the battery only when it reduces below 20%, is it?
If so, then the answer is "NO". You need not wait till the battery drains up so much.
Hope you got it

I'm afraid your wrong with waiting for the battery to drain before charging. you can charge at 50% everytime and you wont see much of a drop in longevity. The waiting until its used up is from old school battery tech.

As soon ad I'm near a charge point I stick the phone on charge regardless of how much is left. occasionally i've let it run flat but that's when I don't need the phone for a couple of days.

This battery you can charge anytime. If mine is 80% and i am off somewhere i charge it up.
I need an operational battery. I dont think this battery has a memory.

True. Only old NiCad batteries benefit from completely draining them from time to time, but new Lithium-Ion ones hate it.
