It depends how severly it was overcharged, and what type of battery it is. I overcharged an 8.4v yesterday for about 11 hrs. It still worked fine. But if u overcharge it too much what happens is that it warms up. (An airsoft battery should never become hot enough to feel on the outside). It damages the electric cells inside the battery and could melt the wires. This could easily start a minor fire.

Two things can happen. 1. the voltage regulator fails so that the alternator doesn't know the battery charge is dropping therefore the battery doesn't get charged. 2. The voltage regulator fails in such a way as to allow the alternator to overcharge the battery which causes the battery to overheat and fail, Sometimes an overcharged battery can explode.
