Should you remove your fully charged battery from a laptop if plugged into an ac outlet in order to extend the batteries life?
According to manufacturers, you should never remove the battery when the computer is plugged in. Removing the battery does not extend battery life because all batteries have "shelf" life and are no good after a certain time. Today's batteries actually will last longer if you keep it in the laptop.

Allow Laptop Batteries To Drain For Longer Lasting Batteries?
Laptop batteries should be allowed to fully discharge once a month for longer performance. Leaving a laptop plugged in all the time can take years off the life of the battery. If you are going to store the battery for more than six months. let it drain to 50% before storage. Storing a batter with less power may leave it in a deep discharge state, and it will not hold a charge when you try to use it again.

Why does your laptop turn off when you put it on top of another laptop that is turned on?
It should not do that. Nor should you do that either. If it happens quickly it is probably something to do with the lid closing and going into standby/hibernation. If it happens slowly it is probably something to do with overheating.
What is best to take the battery out of laptop or to leave the battery in?
Consult the manufacturer's documentation for how to extend battery life on a given laptop. Things will differ. From what I have seen in the documentation I have read it does nothing either way to remove the battery, unless you swap in a fully charged one. (I have a couple of laptops that I do exactly this, I have 2 batteries for each so I can swap in the fully charged one, then when both are discharged I recharge both. For both machines the manufacturer suggested always deep discharging batteries to extend their life.) Apple seems to recommend keeping both permanent and removable batteries near full charge most of the time, with an occasional deep discharge followed by fully recharging them. The exception to this is if the machine will be unused for several months, the battery should be discharged to about 25% of capacity before putting the machine in storage, then immediately fully recharged after removing the machine from storage before use. But other laptop manufacturers may have entirely different recommendations.
Do all laptops need batteries?

Laptop batteries have a finite lifespan.
