My analogy for charging batteries is, "Would you leave a casserole on the stove cooking and go out for the day?"
Pretty well every portable device we use at this time has lithium rechargeable batteries in one form or another.

Before I go to bed, I turn off my mobile, laptop and any other device, but I also turn off the power point in which the chargers are plugged.

The only exception I allow is the caravan solar controller charging the batteries. Why, I have good quality batteries and chargers. The battery's internal BMS stops overcharging and the controller or chargers have lithium profiles that also monitor charge rate. When on mains power, I'm there to manage other battery charging.
