As they say in the renewable energy field: the majority of batteries do not die peacefully, they are murdered.

As a bit of a re-assurance, the typical laptop power circuit in a laptop using lipo is aware of this and will simply refuse to drop the battery below a certain level so likely the damage is somewhat limited. Still, if you don't need to discharge a battery all the way as far as the circuitry will let you with lipo's you'd better not.
