If I plan on having the predator plugged in long-term, should I remove the battery and store it?

My concerns are that by leaving my predator plugged in all day every day, eventually the battery will degrade over time, usage, heat, etc.

    Hi Yangsta,

    A battery cannot be overcharged. There’s no danger of a battery being overcharged if you leave it plugged in all the time. As soon as it hits 100%, it will cease charging and won’t start again until the voltage falls below a certain level.

    Fully discharging a battery will damage it. Having a battery fully discharged for an extended period can put it into a deep discharge state, from which it might never recover.

    But as soon as voltage drops below certain level it will again charge it up to 100 from 99% and this cycle will keep on continuing, there is no way to stop battery degradation battery is going to loose some of it's capacity after few months no matter how you use it. 
    You can check your actual capacity using HWinfo it shows battery wear level
