Its not better to remove the battery since its not a removable battery to begin with.

The case tabs are delicate and you will run the risk of breaking the tabs every time you open it after a while.

 

The Cycles (end of life) is not affected since the circuitry is designed to stop charging the battery once it reaches capacity.

Hello Shehan,

It's actually recommended to game while plugged in. It will reduce the battery cycles and prolong the overall life of the battery. Your system performance will be greater, also.

Is this what you needed to know?

To be honest it is better to remove the battery and use the charger, since the cycles are affected!
