it will be better to do the second deal charge you battery fully and remove it from the computer and unplug the charger and any other wires as any spikes in the electrical system can damage it if hook up

Not good news. Well, assuming your computer has a lithium-ion battery, it's best to charge it, then remove it. There are several reasons for this. Most failures are with the laptop charger cord, not the battery itself. Overheating of the cord could cause a fire. Lithium ion batteries do not have a memory like the old NiCads, but they are prone to lose life if stored in a hot place, like near a furnace vent. Store it inside a ziploc bag in a cool, dry place such as a pantry. No need to place it in a freezer, as the long term cold wouldn't help, and the humidity would likely corrode the terminals.
Don't forget to back up your data as well.
