When the ring stays is stays solid, charging is complete.
Most batteries' life, including lithium ion/polymer, are decreased when subject to excessive heat during charging (high-rate charge, over-charge). If the charging circuit does not turn off when full and continues to heat the battery by allowing the current to flow positive into the cell, it will most certainly reduce the battery's service life.
