What USB charging method does not allow(which power socket does) is to overcharge the battery.

So, by using the power socket the battery lasts longer but it is advised to charge from usb from time to time, also.
_No_ charger will overcharge the battery. The difference between USB charging and power socket charger is simply that USB charging may limit you to 500mA while the power outlet charger can push up to 1.2A. So it's faster.
