Posted May 22, 2015 That should be fine. Normally the battery issues come up when it's on DC power ~100% of the time. By using the computer on batter for several hours every day, it should be just fine. The only thing I would recommend would be to make sure you run the battery down to near dead at least once a week and then charge it back up because then you avoid the possibility of the batter developing a memory and losing some of it's life.

Posted May 22, 2015 For the record, almost every laptop I've owned has spent 95% of their time sitting on a desk connected to power. No issues so far. Just gotta unplug it every once in a while.
