I wouldn't leave them charged, fully, overnight personally. That is hard on the batteries and shortens their life. 5000mah packs should give you plenty of practice even with a partial charge. You might just charge it to 8.2 or just when it reaches 8.4 (and starts backing off on amperage).
When I go to the track, I take two cars, both with their own lipo. I practice in one with the charge that was left from the previous week (around storage levels) while charging the other one, then alternate.
That's my game plan.
