It's generally recommended to let it discharge completely, from time to time.

I frequently find myself at a point where it won't even switch on!

Having researched batteries, it would appear that modern batteries tend not to need the drain phase. The current perceived wisdom is to let the phone get to around 15%-20% and then fully charge.

What should be avoided is charging the battery when one is near a socket irrespective of remaining level.

However it is such a minefield trying to get solid advice. If you make 5 searches you could come up with differeing answers. 

I started by researching battery composition. It does also help that we deal with mobiles on a daily basis.

Baz,  have you considered one of those rechargeable battery packs? I was looking at a new Samsung one which can charge my phone 2.5 times before it needs charging itself.

However my phone has some great battery management and it goes for days.
