EE 4G WiFi Router - advice best practices for powering it for domestic use

What is the best practice for powering my new EE 4G WiFi router? I am using it at home as a replacement for standard BT Broasband routers which are powered by mains power - but of course the 4G WiFi router has a battery in it which is charged by a 5v/1a or 5v/2a charger. Is it ok to leave it plugged in and charging continuously or should I unplug it from the charger occasionally?

@bluepowder Like any battery powered device, batteries have a finite number of charge/discharge cycles, and different types of batteries have different values, advice would be to keep powered by mains, every 3 months or so let battery operation take over, discharge will depend on usage and mode of operation, so you will have to get a time idea if you do not want to get full off.
