Lithium batteries can do all sorts of bad things - like explode, if even slightly mistreated. That said, ALL small devices (tablets, readers, phones, etc.) incorporate voltage regulation, balancing and overcharge protection electronics to prevent bad things. They also monitor voltage and shut themselves down before you can do damage to the battery. So, if you are using the standard USB cord, even in a "high power" wall charger, the internal electronics in the Nook will protect things. And letting it run down until its "dead" won't harm it - the battery is a long way from fully depleted, but the device won't let you drain it any more.
So, when it does die someday, there's little you could have done differently to have postponed the inevitable.
Just don't start cutting wires or opening the case to try and "adapt" it to something it won't normally be able to connect to!
