8800L Continuous Battery Charging

I’ve read an earlier, now closed thread, about continuous charging of the hotspot battery.  I want to hardwire the hotspot into my car on an always-on circuit.  

The previous thread indicated that this is a safe thing to do, but that it may eventually shorten the life of the hotspot or make it not function as well due to additional heat generation.  A shorter life is secondary and I’m willing to replace the hotspot if this happens.

My concern is fire safety, and I think that there is no problem - aren’t all li-ion battery chargers supposed to work as “battery tenders”, that monitor charge and adjust current accordingly?  But I want to verify this, either with somebody who had done it or somebody who has expertise on the question.
