Ipod charging

[aigo]

Hello
I have an ipod 3g 20gb and I normally listen to it though my hi fi and im wondering if it was better to always have the ipod plugged in or use the battery and recharge it. If I use the charger all the time will the battery usage which i heard was around 500 still go down? or will it stay and make it not go down
Thanks
Aigo

But do you know if it makes the battery usage last longer I heard it was 500 charges if you just leave it in will it go down a lot faster?

I would like a straight answer on this as well.

I don't think it counts as a charge if you plug it in when it's already full. So it's 500 x 6-8 hrs of use. Something like that.
