Actually a battery can't accept more charge than it can hold, the excess
energy is dissipated as heat. NiCad batteries when over charged cook
the liquid of themselves for example.

Other batteries have other reactions when overcharged, but all have some
sort of negative reaction. Overcharging a Lithium Ion battery is
dangerously catestrophic. Because of this fact, lithium ion batteries
have charge regulators for each cell, to prevent a serious explosion.
This is a rather simplified explanation.

Huh. Sort of get it. But how can a battery accept more charge than it can
hold?
Like say, a glass of milk. Pour too much milk it goes outside the glass. Bad
effect, but the glass can't get any fuller. Or maybe that's it. Is that it?
