Question Coasting question

I apologize if this question has been answered already, but I didn't find anything about it in a quick search of the threads... My question is this: When I got my new Civic Thursday, I asked the salesman whether I should continue my habit of coasting to a red light in order to avoid braking. He specifically advised me to NOT do that because the braking charges the battery. Was that bad advice? (He said he had only been with Honda for about six months and was an airline mechanic before that, so I trust your answers!) Thanks in advance.
