Hello guys,

What would be the recommended way to charge the S3?... charge it when it's almost dead or I can charge it with 20 to 30 percent of power.

Thanks

Doesn't matter all that much. See batteryuniversity for in depth discussion

The whole "don't charge it until it's nearly dead!"/battery memory school of thought is outdated. It was true ten years ago but current battery technology means you can charge it whenever you want, however long you want and the battery will not be damaged. So don't worry about it.
