The battery won't overcharge from a manufacturer (Motorola) charger. The best thing is not to charge it too frequently, like plugging it in for 5 minutes at a time or using a vehicle power charger everytime you get in the car. One charge a day to full power should be the practice, with at least once a week charging the phone while it's off (to get a full charge). If you constantly plug in and remove the charger's though it will diminish the maximum battery time you get on full charge. A standard battery can be plugged in 300 to 500 times (average) before the charge starts to last for less and less time. There is a warranty for the battery based on when you purchased your phone. I recommend never getting an after-market battery or charger, since they have more likelihood of being damaged or overcharging.

I have a theory about cell phone batteries dying early. I work in an almost dead zone. When at work my phone, with a fully charged battery will die within 7 hours, when at home it will last at least 3 days. I have replaced the battery, with no improvement. The phones are warm to the touch. My theory is that the phone continuously tries to make connection and drains the battery. There are at least 3 other Verizon phones doing the same thing at this work location. No response from Verizon.
I heard from Verizon today, and they said that yes the phone will constantly search for the signal and drain the battery. Solution: turn off the phone.

Very true, searching for service will drain the battery. Also, having a video for your wall-paper will drain it quicker and having your backlight remain on too long will drain it.
