Is it safe to remove battery when using Adapter
I use my laptop mostly in the office and hence the power is supplied by the adapter / AC supply.
Is it okay ,better and safe to remove the battery if you are using the AC supply to power your laptop for a long period of time or is is advisable to keep the battery in there for better life.
I use the portable/Laptop power mode in Power management

Yes, using the computer in the configuration you mention should be fine.

Removing the battery from the laptop when running on fixed power protects the battery from heat but some battery and laptop manufacturers caution against it. They say that dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing could damage the laptop. The dealers will be happy to provide you with a new pack when a replacement is needed a little sooner. The question is often asked if one should disconnect the laptop from the main when not in use. With lithium-ion it does not matter. Once the battery is fully charged, no further charge is applied. It is recommenced, however, to turn the laptop off overnight because of heat harms the battery.
Simple Guidelines
Short battery life in a laptop is mainly caused by heat rather than charge/discharge patterns.
