Its perfectly fine to leave it in place.

its not recommended for extended periods of time if you want to preserve the battery life.
when a battery fully charges it stops charging. then naturally it will discharge very slowly over time. this will cause it to start charging again. say frpm 99% to 100%. this will count as one charge cycle.

let this happen enough and it will severly lesson the battery life.
this also is worth noting if you leave it plugged in over night while off.

to condition a battery properly charge it fully, run it on battery until its at 20% or less then charge it.

But its not dangerous if thats the worry.
