Absolutely zero difference. Blades run on Lithium Ion batteries which do not suffer from the battery memory effect. The cell's capacity will deteriorate over time but there is no need to charge you phone for 12 hours on the first charge. 3-5 hours will be enough to replenish it fully. It also won't affect the cell's ability to hold charge if you leave it in the charge when it is fully charged, although the constant heat may cause damage to the phone.
