I was wondering if there was any problem leaving the Prism recharging overnight. I was concerned about the life of the lithium batteries. I have a feeling that the batteries could lose some life if it stays more time that it is needed on the cradle.

I hope I'm wrong because I usually leave it overnight charging.

If I remember correctly the reason the lithium battery is preferred is because it doesn't develop a "memory" the way the nicads did.

Lithium-ion batteries require a smart charger that shuts off the charge current when the battery is charged up. So leaving the Prism on the charger forever will have no ill effects on the battery.
