Not entirely - anything with a lithium based battery is supposed to
regulate its charging and discharging as going out of bounds in either
direction is dangerous (fire risk).

One would hope that a lithium battery installed in a device would have the
appropriate charge limiting and regulation circuitry within the device.

It has some protection within the battery pack itself.
