re: Phone battery question 

@jessmahler @Qwyrdo The electrons had better stop flowing when the battery hits 100%!! one of the big dangers of lithium ion batteries is that you *absolutely need* to stop all charging current when the battery is fully charged or you run the risk of the battery literally exploding or at least bursting into flames. All properly designed lithium-ion charger circuitry (which, note, is in the *device*, not in the power supply that plugs into the wall that people frequently call a "charger"; it's not a charger, it's just a power supply) will provide this cutoff, so it's not something you need to worry about. You're free to leave your phone plugged in as long as you like.
