I always plugged my cans into my amp with the volume set to 0. Is this safe as well?

you can leave it plugged in 24/7 as long as you leave the amp powered on.

A few days ago, I accidentally (of ocurse) left the AC adapter in for 9 hours with the PA2V2 off

No physical damage, but I'm sure I damaged the batteries, no?

Yeah, the issue is the possibility of a short. (I've never heard of this actually happening to anyone in practice.) As I understand it, you can plug and unplug headphones safely at moderate volumes -- but I'm not an electrical engineer.
