will my battery be adversely effected if it remains on the charger after it has achieved a FULL charge?

Correct, lithium-ion batteries are not capable of 'overcharging', they have a mechanism in place to cut off the flow of electricity once a full charge has been obtained.
Have to ask after reading previous linked thread: is this a danger that you would really only have to worry about @ 6v? It sounds like the incident involved "chained" batts, so would one have to worry about this at 3.7v (single batt setups)?

There should be minimal added danger vaping at 6v, most likely the cr2 Batts were fraudulently labeled as LiFePO4 batts as the LFP battery chemistry just isn't capable of of going into thermal runaway and detonating that quickly.
In actuality, the explosion was caused by a design HINDSIGHT by the batt mod makers, as ALL battery enclosures should be vented so that EVEN if the batts are overloaded and leak, they don't pressurize the battery container.
It's a shame no-one bothered to ask about the charger. A lot of people charge lifepo batteries in a standard li-ion charger - which they shouldn't. I wonder if that could have been the case here...
I always make it a point to buy and use "name brand" batteries.
