According to the information in this link
How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University

it is the depth of discharge that limits the number of cycles, i.e. running from 100% to 0% each time will allow less charge cycles than partial discharges.

The "intelligent" battery management system in my laptop certainly seems to keep the battery in the 40 to 60% range.
