advent laptop

ok sorry to be a pain but im still not clear on this.
since i have fitted the battery on my laptop i have never taken it out and only used it without the power lead connected. apart from that i always have the power lead connected. even when i turn the laptop off the liitle light on the battery inicator stays green. if i pull the plug out all the indicator lights go off. when i turn the power supply on a red light comes on for 40 secs and then turns back green. phew.. so my questions are

1. is it safe to leave the power cord in constantly and have the green button light stay on?

2. when i pull out the lead and put it back in and the light comes on red should i wait for it to turn green before booting up the pc?

3. i have read somewhere that having the pc on standby and the power lead attatched ruins the battery, is this true?

4. if the battery did die completely would the pc work completely the same with just the power lead or do you always have to have a charged battery in there?

sorry about all the questions, and your prob thinking why dosent she just read the manual like and normal person!! well i have but it dosent say anything about this in the book!! anyway i trust you guys more
