On 'Overcharging' and 'Undercharging'

I just charged my Z2 while powered off for the first time. It had 9% juice when I switched it off. Took 2 hours and 10 minutes when the LED finally turned green. I unplugged it 10 minutes later. Say I left it plugged in overnight, will it affect battery performance? Will it also lengthen battery lifecycle if I don't use it while charging?

I already have some battery-saving/monitoring apps. They really help optimize energy alongside the already-helpful Stamina mode. I also noticed the 100% status last a little longer when most wireless functions are turned off, which is really great. I get really frustrated when the battery percentage drops unusually quicker even if I'm not using the phone that much, so sometimes I just turn the % display off. Any other battery-optimizing tips, charging-wise?

If you use it while charging,you might notice it charging slower and getting hot.

In long term it could damage the battery.
