there's no such thing as overcharging... the laptop would cut off power to the battery once it's fully charged...
however, heat does kill the battery cells, best to remove it when using intensive programs like gamin...

Better, just remove the battery when power supply is available

i bought new laptop (well not new, just one month old) i never unplug battery .... at home always use wall plug.
after 1 year battery life decrease from 3 hour to 2 hour (best stretch) now after 3 years can last maybe 30 minutes ... lol. (already bought new battery now can last 3 hours++)
my friend who practice unplug the battery after 3 years also same condition as me ... can last maybe a little bit longer around 45 minutes ...
so up to you lah

I never removed the batteries of my M100 as well... wasn't aware of the heat that was killing it
Now can last around 45 minutes only....
I don't think if always unplug the battery will shorten the lifespan of the batteries that quickly though...

dont worry much about your battery duration. just check your usage level and its can be control by that way.
