he is right on keeping the battery cool and not completely discharging it, but he is wrong on topping it off.
you should not top off frequently, keeping your battery at 100% is almost as bad as letting it deplete to to 0%
charging your phone to 90% doubles the amount of discharge cycles of your battery.

ive requested several times from google to allow battery voltage in the android API, so I could write an app that would allow you to set a maxium charging voltage (or %) to maximize battery lifetime
