Is it still important to let your battery die before charging?

Hi, Just wondering if this is the case still or can you plug it in anytime without damaging the battery? Thanks.

IIRC with lithium ion it's bad to let it die to often, minimum should be about 10% before recharging if possible. The older types got a memory affect if you didn't completely drain it but new ones aren't affected by memory affect.
