There's a lot of previous on 650 batteries on the Forum, a good search will find a lot of info, but best practice is to wall charge rather than USB as PC's can actually drain the battery in certain circumstances, and the mains charge definitely gives more "oomph".
And I agree , leave it overnight, you won't overcharge it.
And never let it drain completely, and never turn it off - sleep mode always, unless you're not using it for a week or more.

My 650 battery performance improved enormously after adopting this regime.
