EOS R7: Not activity shooting/doing tutorials. Should the battery only be recharged when almost out?

EOS R7.  I am doing tutorials and taking photos to see what happens.  I saw how many photos a low battery can take, but my real question is to prolong this rechargeable battery's life.  Should I normally wait til the battery is very low before recharging?

LoveWeims,

I don't think it really matters. As a matter of fact, Canon recommends that you charge your battery the day before, or the day of the day that you go out for a photo shoot, and don't say anything about whether it is already charged or is depleted.

I don't think you should charge it every day though.

Thank u.  I saw it takes 3 hours to fully charge.  Just do not want to overdo recharging it
