Normally I leave my MS Surface plugged in all the time and my cell phone and Kindle charging overnight. Is this practice negatively affecting the lifespan of the batteries? Is there a better way to lengthen a lithium battery’s lifespan?

At work we see that charge at slower rates prolongs cyclability (“battery life”). Same can be said on discharge rates
So if you run at low C’s, a term used to indicate charge transfer speed, you get a longer battery life. On the chemical level, it makes the redox (chemical reaction) more reversible
Look up thermodynamic reversibility for more detail on why that all is. Its based on entropy
As other have said, a charge cycle is going from one charge state (0 or 100%), to the opposite state, and back
