Ok, I'm a noob, I've done the searches and I found out that you can kill your battery by overcharging it. So don't flame me.

I had to work, so I started charging my battery before I left for an 8hour work shift. I left the responsibility of unplugging the battery when it's "warm" to my brother. When I returned home after work, I found that my battery was still charging. So, I know for sure I've overcharged it. As I should only be charging it for about 5hours. I have a 2400mah, 7cell battery and I was using a 500mah output charger.

My question is, just how dead is my battery, is it still usable? if so, how long can i use it for? if its not usable, is there anyway that i can "fix" the battery(though i doubt it, i thought i'd ask anyways). And what are the effects of overcharging a battery?
