Should I let the battery fully drain before charging?

I just got my 5S and love it. I'm wondering if I have to let the battery fully drain before I charge it or if I can just charge it at a convenient time for me regardless of percentage left? TIA

    They are lithium ion which shouldn't need a full discharge. And for that matter, it's likely you'll get less "rechargeability" out of it by waiting longer. So you'd be advised to keep it to little charges.

    I agree. Go ahead and charge it as often as you like - in fact, the more often the better.
