Hi! Thats quite a good idea, however you are supposed to let your battery completely die, then fully charge it or you will end up having to replace it, and charge it more often in the mean time! what you could do tho is buy one of those plug timers which will only power whatever is plugged for a limited amount of time! You can also set it to charge your phone when you get your cheaper electric rate...just thinking out loud!

Not true with Lithium-Ion technology batteries which most phones use nowadays. You're thinking about the memory effect which affects Ni-Cad (NiCd) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries on older phones.

LiIon can be charged whenever though they do have a finite number of charges (around 500) so therefore it IS better to make it last a couple of days and charge when it's low (i.e. no need to let it go completely flat).

from a ecological and MSE point of view the car comes up trumps, on that point I hope your car is LPG !!!
