Not sure where you think the danger would come from. The only danger I can see is that the battery acts as a kind of UPS and provides some protection against sudden power outage for the hard drive, etc. If you pull the battery then it is just like a desktop and is vulnerable to power surges and dropoffs. So I always leave my battery in.

No rules...the battery is smart. It will only charge as needed. If it literally never uses the battery you can run the battery down to say 40%-50% remove it and store it in a dark cool dry place. But this is not really necessary and will only extend the life of the battery a little. Just use the laptop and enjoy. No need to overthink the management of the battery.
