Overcharging? Dangerous?

I'm usually really good about taking care of my zipzaps, but I just left it on the charger for maybe 5 minutes extra. I left the room and forgot, could this damage my zip zap??

The ZZ charger is timed and only charges for 45 seconds. If it's on the charger and the light is green, it's no longer charging. If you're talking about a different charger that doesn't time the charge then yes, it's not good. Shortens the life of the battery, but your Zip should be fine.

Are you positive no power goes through after green? my zipzap was litterally double speed.

It couldve been because i did that "turn upside down and hit gas" thing , the cycle thing a few times.
