Li-Ion batteries do not have a memory, so 'short charging' them does not hurt. But, the battery will last longer if it is discharged occasionally.
Brief snip from
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

The best way to keep a battery life is to charge it for about 6 hours then run it dead. Then repeat. Batteries can form a memory. if you leave it pluged in for to long or plug it in when it is only half way drained then it will build a memory that will shorten the life of the battery.

No - it will only last as long as it's maximize charge can hold - approx 6 hours on a decent laptop. The battery can only hold so much.
You should also only ever charge your laptops battery when it starts to go flat. Charging a full battery really ruins it's life span.

No, it's like a glass of water. If you keep pouring water, will it hold more than its size?
Good Luck,

well no beacause it all depends on the amount of charging you have on the battery of your labtop.

...no it wont like overcharge...it will still last the same as regular, but if you drain it repeatedly then the life will go down
