I leave mine in until the lights all go out, I let them rest about 1hr before charging, but that's not really necessary. I mainly use the dis-chargers as a tool to keep my batteries cycled correctly and it does have an impact on the longevity of the batteries. It also cuts down on cells going bad due to overcharge because if they aren't balanced when charging you are potentially pushing the power through a cell that is already fully charged, in essence you are over charging that cell and it will affect it over time.
