Hi Mex,
There are lots of posts about batteries swelling up from continuous charging for MIFI (hot spot) devices.
I try to not leave my devices permanently plugged in. I try to disconnect them when they are at between 95 and 98% state of charge. I plug them in when they are at 30%.
My S4 will gradually discharge if I am actively using google maps with it plugged into a 12 volt outlet. It does stay charged if I use a small MSW invter and plug the OEM charger into that.
