My laptop is always plugged in since I rarely use it away from the house and the same was true with my previousl laptop and even after over 5 years it still holds a decent charge when I do unplug it. As other said, modern batteries can handle this easily and the problem with the battery that swelled surely was a different issue and would eventually have happened regardless. After all look at the Note 7 disaster where devices which weren't even plugged in at all burst into flames.
