the data I have seen for lithium-ion shows that frequent deep discharges can reduce the lifetime of a cell by more than a factor of 10. I probably could find similar data for lithium-polymer, but I haven't looked. I expect it to be similar. Hybrid cars keep the charge level in a very limited band, deep discharge is bad for most battery chemistries
