Can you extend your iPad's battery life by running it on AC when you're at home?

I was just wondering how many cycles the iPad2 has before it dies. So maybe it's better not to waste any and plug it in everytime you use it at home? Can you extend your iPad's battery life by running it on AC when you're at home?

ipad plug ac save battery battery-life better ipad2

Thanks for the quick reply. Would be good to know if there is sth like overcharging when it comes to the iPad. I just have a guilty conscience when I use it every day and also have to recharge it almost every day.

It should be fine

Lithium ion batteries have circuitry inside them that help manage the amount charged
