I'd like to run the N810 off the charger for long periods, but the manual says it's a bad idea:

"Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime."
It seems strange that the N810 wouldn't have overcharge protection circuitry. Is that really the case?

This travel charger for Nokias has a charge indicator light and claims to have overcharging protection. Why would a $2.99 charger have that and Nokia not?
