Hi! I accidentally left my DJI Phantom 4  battery on charge for about 4 hours.Can this in any way damage the battery?
Did I overcharge it?

It should have shut itself off after being fully charged.

"The Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to stop charging when it is full. However it is a good practice to monitor the charging progress and disconnect the batteries when fully charged."  Source

I've done this a number of times myself, but haven't observed any damage or degradation.

I also believed the software/hardware in the battery should deal with this, although as stated I would not want to leave it unattended or on charge for that long.
The other option if you are concerned is to place the charger on a mains timer, if the battery normally takes say 40-60 mins to fully charge, set the timer to turn off after 1.5 hrs etc.
