    "Weaker"-not quite...It may reduce the lifetime of the battery, however.
    There's a finite number of charge cycles.
    If you're going to be using the laptop for a long time plugged in-you may want to take the battery out first. However, I quite like the battery being as it acts as a UPS.

    Anyway, prolonging your lithium-ion battery's life is a losing battle TBH.
