Only sorta, it really has more to do with the fact that laptops are damn hot, and even moreso on their mains charger. Hot + li-ion = bad news. We have no such heat issues with our NITs, so leaving them on the charger isn't nearly as much of an issue as for laptops (anecdotally speaking, I have 3 batteries in 3 devices, two of which are left on the charger—770s—almost all of the time and I haven't noticed any significant impact in battery life).
