RC Charging question

Was wondering what % do you charge the MP RC? With the Phantoms the RC seems to last a lot longer so I usually wait until it goes down to first or second light. I've noticed that my Mavic controller seems to go down quicker. I went for a flight a few days ago and the RC is at about 80%... Should I wait for it to go down more, or is it fine to just charge it to full. I'm old school and have been conditioned to always wait until batteries are low before charging. Does it even matter with MP's RC?
 
The Mavic RC battery has half the capacity compared to the Phantom RC. The RC also charges Android devices which would explain why it drains fast. I charge mine at 20-30%, I don't see any point in charging it from 80% to a 100% before you fly unless you really need the extra capacity for a really long session.
