LG Wireless Phone

Will leaving my cell phone (LG Venus) plugged in after charge is complete cause any damage?

The guy at the Verizon store said I should only leave my phone plugged into a wall charger for 2 hours and a car charger for 1 hour. Or else I would be overcharging it. Will this really damage it? Or reduce the time the battery holds a charge?

1. Too much overcharging can cause the battery to go bad where it won't charge.
2. yep...it will reduce the battery life...alot
3. It damages the environment but shouldn't hurt your phone IF you only charge your phone when the battery gets low, never charge if you still have half or more of the battery power left because you will lose maximum battery power.
4. It should not be a problem. Most chargers now days, especially oem chargers, have overcharge protection built in to them. Your manual or charger information should tell you if it has this protection.
5. No. Today's batteries and chargers are designed to prevent overcharging. This was more a problem with rechargeable batteries years ago, but the LG Venus and any other phone from the last 3 or so years is smart enough to stop charging once the battery is full.
