Typically, you want to actually avoid extended battery usage. The conversion losses from converting momentum to electrical to chemical and then back to electrical and mechanical are higher than if you were using gas in a P&G (pulse and glide) type method.
The exception being if you know you can regenerate a ton of power for example by going down a huge hill. Then, I'd try to drain some battery power, so I can refill the pack by going down the hill.
