have not heard this statement before. Is this in referance to Li-ion Polymer or regular Li-ion batteries? your quote cuts off and is unclear.
It refers to all modern batteries without memory effects (NiMH, Li-ion, and Li-Poly)
Deep cycles literally destroy the substrate inside these batteries - you are killing them a little bit, each time, which is why they "lose capacity" with each (deep) cycle.

It's not exact, but you could think of a 1000 cycle battery as having 10.000 10% cycles.

And yeah, all this makes your Rev A faster, and your GPS more accurate.

Bottom line, charge early and often.
