Hi,

 

Yes, it is safe.

 

If you do wish to do this ( and you have a reliable mains supply ) drain the battery to around 40% charge, then remove it and store it in a cool location.

 

Then, once a month, re-insert the battery, start the machine and let the battery fully charge.  Unplug the AC Adapter and let the machine run until you start to get a 'low battery' warning.  Fully charge it again, then let the battery drain to around 40%.  Shut down the notebook, remove the battery and store it separately in a cool location.  Repeating this procedure every month will help to keep your battery in good condition.
