Iphone charging do's and don'ts?

My husband says do not charge your phone if it's not yet used to low power mode. He says it will ruin the battery. Can I charge my iphone 6s or iphone Xsmax if it's at 54%, 42%, or anything not to the point of "low power mode"? If I am going out and want to ensure I have a full battery because I know i will be using the heck out of my phone, can I charge it? He is taking this from the battery protocol from our old cellphones from 10 years ago.

iPhone 8

You can charge at anytime, for any amount of time.

You can use it while charging.

You can leave it attached to the charging circuit after the battery reaches 100%.

Do NOT repeatedly deplete the battery to low levels.
