Overcharging is not possible, unless your battery is broken and has to
be replaced anyway. There is a circuit built into every Li-Ion battery
to prevent overcharging.
But if the charger is plugged in, it keeps topping the battery at
100%. Li-Ion batteries lose capacity over time, and the rate is
dependent on the temperature and fill level. At 100% fill level, it
will lose capacity faster than at 40% fill level (which is best for
the battery). Li-Ion have no memory effect, but they age.

This should be possible, but since I'm not into bluetooth, I can't say for sure.


Cheers,
