Use of the power supply allowed while battery is inserted?

So far I have always been using the power supply while using the 2B. Thus I did not insert the battery into the 2B in the first place.
However, sometimes it would be more comfortable not having to use a power supply. Therefore my question: Is it allowed to leave the battery in the 2B while using a power supply?
If this is the case, one could use the 2B very flexible depending on the room it is used in without have to insert and take out the battery.

Yes you can run a 2B from the mains if you have a battery connected.

You can even connect / unconnect the mains adaptor while working, but as you get more power with mains, you should remember to turn down the power a little before connecting the mains adaptor

Is it possible to hook up a 12V DC battery to the 12V port? I would like to get more mileage out of the 2B when being mobile....
