First step is to not use a laptop with a charged/charging battery in it as an always-on server. Terrible idea.

Could you please elaborate on why this is a bad idea?

Having a battery that is constantly charging and kept at 100% is bad for the battery. Very bad. Batteries don’t like heat, and being kept on and in use endlessly generates heat constantly. Batteries should be avoided for things like this as they can swell and/or explode.

This depends entirely on the motherboard because many newer ones are fully capable of disconnecting the battery and maintaining it intelligently like smartphones does

Chill bro they have BMS’s. I keep my always plugged in laptop at 60% battery for this reason but they aren’t infants you don’t need to baby them.
