The exact level you charge it to matters less than what the battery ends up sitting at. Batteries are happiest at about 40%, but very rapid get unhappy the lower they go. The closer you can keep it to within the 40-60% the better.
If I’m not planning to use a device for a while, I generally do 79% as well.
Except for my Nintendo DSi XL and 2DS XL. The original DS seems to hold a charge eternally regardless of what it’s charged to, and the 2DS will literally be dead after a while if I don’t charge it to full. I’ve stored it at a 100% charge and picked it up a few months later to find it sitting at like 16%. Makes no sense.
I’ve heard 70% is best for longer term storage.
