Don't hold me on this one, but I think that the N900 stops charging of the battery once fully charged and resumes charging after a while when there is a significant drop in the current bat. level.
1) I've noticed several times for it to start charging (shows that `Charging` bar briefly) after a prolonged staying on the USB.

However, keep in mind that while there probably is a system to stop mini-charges, there is a key difference between a laptop and the N900 - N900 never runs on the USB current (500mAh is not enough juice for its peak usage) - it runs from the battery at all times whether connected to USB or not, and if you set a heavy computational task that will eat way more current than the USB can provide - you will never recharge your battery. Or if your phone is `idling` at around 500mAh, the charge cycle will never complete thus effectively eating through the battery.

If I would had taken the battery out always at home, I still would have a mobile laptop, but now it is just a laptop without real mobility.
So, for N900, if it is possible somehow by software, it could be good if at home (in the evening) I could attach it to the USB-bus, and when the battery is fully charged, I could detach the battery on the fly and put it in the fridge for next use (next morning) , but N900 would stay ON and would get its power from USB still.
Taking the battery from the fridge next morning when I am about to leave, would be as much more simpler and quick (15 secs) than changing the clothes after the night or brushing the teeth.
