The MacBook Pro has a seven-hour battery. If it is draining quickly, try lowering the screen brightness or turning off the keyboard backlighting.

Can MacBook Pro overcharge?
Macbook Pro can never be overcharged. Whenever the battery is fully charged, MBP is powered through AC / external source.

Hope that helps.
