Only 98%. Mine has been 24/7 for years now.
It is recommended that if you rarely use the battery, that you remove it and run the laptop without it. Leaving it plugged in all the time will reduce battery life and could cause it to leak and damage the laptop internally.
But beyond that, let it run....

Yes it is good to keep your laptop plugged in all the time, it will lengthen your battery life. If your laptop is less than 10years old ( Which I think it is) your batteries would be Li -ion batteries which should not be allowed to run down or dumped periodically as some other user on the board posters. Older laptop batteries had to be dumped in order to maintain cell life.But with Li -ion batteries you do not have too.

Yes. And as the previous writer said, if the laptop has Lithium Ion batteries, it is best not to deep cycle it. These batteries are rated for a specific number of deep cycles. When you pass that number, the battery performance will rapidly decline, eventually to the point where it will not charge at all.

Yes, but you need to condition the battery every so often by allowing it to completely discharge. Check your user guide for more info.

Remeber to drain your battery atleast once a month. Or else your battery's life is shortened.
Remember to get it replaced before your warratny is over!

Honestly I would not suggest it while the battery is still attached, but if you have the battery off then you should be okay.

Sure.
There is nothing wrong with doing that.
