if tha tis the case, make sure you have a reliable overcharging protection circuit (which you should always have anyways), then you should be fine.
depending on the circuits and batteries quality you might have a small loss of battery amperage, but thats depending on the parts and not the way or duration of charging it.

Can leaving a LiPo powered device (tablet, smartphone etc) plugged into a sleeping computer overnight cause the device's battery to die?
