A simple way to illustrate this is to touch the wall plug after your phone has been charging for a few minutes (yellow light), it will be warm. Now touch it after the charging has been done for a few minutes (green light), it will be cool.
Hmm, then I don't get it. Why all the scary warnings that leaving it charging overnight will kill the battery? I was really worried for a second. So I can just plug it in at night, forget about it, wake up in the morning, unplug, no harm done to battery, no electricity wasted?
