No, that is not bad for them at all, if anything, is good for their cycle life.

As for cycle life, no one really knows because of the various loads that can be places on them, but expect a few hundred cycles IF you take care of them. Lot's of lipo packs don't make it past their first birthday because of a dud pack (puff up, catch on fire), or abuse because of shorts, and physical abuse as well.

If you want cycle life, then you could go with A123 cells, they have incredible lifetime (at least 1000 cycles), durability, safety, and ease of use (fast charging, balancing not essential, not sensitive to overcharging)
