Hi there and welcome !

well the theory is straight forward, the answer is yes, it is okay to charge it whether it is half or quarter full...

...however, in practice I have always found that all batteries work better if charged fully then discharged repeat etc.

According to Apple Lithium-ion batteries can be charged whether they are empty or part empty...

If you are really bored have a read of this ;-) http://www.apple.com/batteries/

regards

Ric
