Be aware that you shorten the recharging cycles with this. It is better to run the batteries down and then recharge them, you will find that every battery (no matter if original or 3rd party) will last much longer this way. You also will notice faster when your battery is on its way out as you find that the charge will not hold any more the days (or weeks, depending on your use of the camera) and you know then when it is time for replacements. Last thing you want is that you are on holiday and your batteries give up on you.
Run the batteries down till the camera tells you that they have only halve the charge (or even less) and then re-charge them. You will find that your batteries will last much longer.

Sorry, I got it wrong as I thought that you charge the batteries no matter what. My fault
A merry christmas and a happy new year to you to
