Nope, absolutely not.

I fly with a guy who told me a friend advised him to only use a quick charger, saying overnight charging was bad for your batteries. Obviously there's a lot of misinformation about a lot of aspects of this hobby. I told him that quick charging should be kept to a minimum and the rate used should be at a minimum for the needs at the time. After all, a 3 hour charge is considered a quick charge by the battery manufacturer.

One thing too that you need to realize about a wall charger is they don't supply a constant current like, for example a Hobbico Multi Charger (which is a CC charger). If you're using a 50 ma wall charger it starts out at 50, maybe 55 ma and after the battery is at full charge it may only be 10 ma. So leaving it on the charger all the time isn't as hard on the battery as you might think. I would never do that, I usually just top off with a couple hour charge if it's been a few days since a full charge and overnight if it's been a few weeks.
