Li-Ion, not Lion, cells must NOT be deep discharged, they like to be used in the mid range, 20% to 90% and they can be recharged at what ever state is convenient so recharging from 80% isn't a problem neither is recharging from 5% or 95% but they need an intelligent charger that stops charging at 100%. Discharging to 0% will cause damage.

I did a considerable amount of research to determine whether a computer with a Li-Ion battery could be stored and used onboard an aircraft. I determined that, with appropriate processes it could.
