The downloader mode will "time out" and shut down the SoC -
but according to what Geekmaster observed, it will not shut down the charger.
Other than removing the battery and putting it on an external Li-Ion charger -
this may be the only way to get your battery charged again.
Note:
Corrections welcome - I may have forgotten or confused something in my explanation above - it has been awhile.

Actually, as I recall, it was fastboot mode that fast-charged the battery, and it did not timeout and shutdown the SoC. But that was awhile ago and my mind and memory are full of other things at the moment... But perhaps I did post something like you said. I keep stumbling over posts that are completely new to me, yet claim to have been written by me. Those brain cells must have gotten reallocated for new information or something...
