You can charge it at any level that suits you needs
But I read that completely draining the battery at least once a week and then fully charging it keeps it fresh

I always put my iPhone on the charger at the end of the day regardless of the percentage. I like starting my day with a full charge.

Goodness, aren't we past the complete battery drain days? I thought completely draining the newer Li-On batteries was totally unnecessary anymore, and harmful at worst.
From PC World:
"The tricks for maximizing your lithium-ion battery's useful lifespan—that is, the number of times you can recharge it before it no longer accepts a charge—are pretty basic. Three things will prematurely age a lithium-ion battery: consistently draining it to the automatic shutdown point, exposing it to heat, and overcharging/overvoltage-charging. That last practice is actually dangerous and can lead to fire or even an explosion."

They think the sweet spot is to drain to 40% and then recharge.
