Hi- Plugged in my Canon G5 to charge last night, and forgot to unplug it
before I went to bed........will this hurt the battery? If not, I may do
this more-- Thanks

I don't know this particular camera, but generally a charger will turn
itself off at the end of the charge cycle.

You might have a problem if you forgot about it for a few days. But over
night, probably not

G5 - Is that a separate charger?
How long it takes for the batteries to get full (what specs say)? If this is
a quick charger, e-g- few hours or so, then after set time, switches itself
into standby charging and in this condition you can leave it for days, if
you wish. In fact, depending on charge speed, but if it's very quick,(1 hour
or less), then in this time batteries are not fully charged (because they
get too hot so charger turn off sooner), so you'll get a little more life if
you leave them connected a few hours after charging is finished (or
overnight.).
However, if it's 12, 14 or 18 hours charger, then you can safely leave it
for days, too.
