As Paul says Li-Ion batteries have quite a limited number of charge/discharge cycles - probably around 500, so if you do discharge and recharge to try and preserve battery life then once a week is probably better than once a day.

I've read many places saying discharging to 40% then rechargning is better than a full discharge - don't know if this is true. I'm not sure anyone actually knows
