Laptop batteries last longer if they are kept at around 50% charge rather than 100% all the time. You're better off to remove the battery & store it somewhere than leaving it plugged in (if you don't need it), at 100% all the time. Li-ion batteries are meant to discharge periodically & kept in a cool place, so a laptop battery that's left in a laptop that's always plugged into the wall isn't the best place for it. It's fine to plug a laptop into a UPS.

The batteries sometimes discharge very quickly depend on the load you put on the laptop. I usually plug in the laptop and game to avoid discharging my battery when I am gaming. I sometimes do remove the battery but in a event of a power outage you could lose your data that you are working on. It is fine to connect a laptop to a UPS.

The high hardware specs mean that the laptop will be power hungry therefore short battery life.
