There really isn't a problem with using it while it is plugged in and at 100%.   I have been doing that for years and usually get from four to five years out of a battery.

 

All you need to do is  calibrate the battery once a month by running the test in the HP Support Assistant or the HP Hardware Diagnostic utility.

 

I will provide you with a few HP battery related documents.
