Very true, lithium ion batteries can be damaged by a deep dishcharge. They prefer a constant topup. For lithium ion batteries this does not adversly effect the life of the battery.
On a side note you should not buy a backup lithium ion as they start to degrade straight after manufacturing. You could buy not use it for years and then find it won't work.
The apple website is more to do with claibrating the battery with the OS so it shows a true representation of remaining power.
