Leaving it plugged in all the time is fine. The charging circuits and OS will manage the battery.
The best advice for getting the most from your battery:
• Plug in when using the computer near available power.
• Use on battery when ac is unavailable.
• Don’t subject the computer and battery to extreme temperatures.
• Let the OS and charging circuits manage the charging.
• Try not to allow the battery to discharge deeply regularly before plugging in. Yes, it may happen from time to time, just don't make it a habit.
• Don't obsess over battery life and/or health.

Use a Surge Protector:
You should most certain leave it plugged in all the time, but do su by plugging it into a surge protector, to protect it from power surges and power spurs. If a lightning both or tree where to fall on a transformer down the screen, then power may go into the curets, ultimately, rerunning in device power damage.
