It is wise to let batteries - whether in a cell phone or laptop - to run all the way down from time to time. Continuously charging your phone or computer can cause batteries to swell and lose their ability to hold a charge for long periods of time.

It doesn't hurt to fully discharge the battery occasionally. Some batteries develop a 'memory' that they will not charge beyond, giving the appearance of shorter battery life.

No. Because then if you always let it die completely it is not gonna charge the right way it is supposed to charge. In that case it might break.
