The battery charging tech has built in protection to keep it from overcharging or reducing the useful life. So you can leave it plugged in. In fact you'll notice that when it is working correctly it will drop a few percent rather than keeping it constantly at 100%
You may have simply had a bad battery. If this happens more than once then it could be a problem with the machine.

You will get different answers from different people. The newer Lithium batteries are not well understood by all. Unlike the preceding batteries each individual cell is charge separately and balanced and do not hold a memory. The charging system is quite a bit more complex and as noted by our esteemed moderator its automatic and will regulate the charge dropping it by 5% or so before initiating a charge cycle. To see plugged in and not charging is intended operation. If you have 0 percent then either your charging circuit is cooked or more likely you have two open cells and need to replace the battery. Unfortunately there seems to be a QC issue with batteries these days as they are all made in one country that doesn't care about QC. I just had an incident where a brand new bank of 36 VRLA batteries went into thermal runaway, not pretty.
