SP, arguement is nessesary process of progress.
OK what I said is to be applied to storing a battery...
But I did find this...
The charge cannot be terminated on a voltage. The capacity reached at 4.2 Volts per cell is only 40 to 70% of full capacity. For this reason you need to continue to charge until the current drops, and to terminate on the low current.
It is important to note that trickle charging is not acceptable for lithium batteries. The Li-ion chemistry cannot accept an overcharge without causing damage to the cell, possibly plating out lithium metal and becoming hazardous.

i guess overcharging doesn't apply to laptops these days since they have safety measures in place.
so, go ahead an charge away! often and early.
