I have an Apple MacBook and i'm wondering if I can unbind its battery when I plug my adapter in the electric box? Is the battery performance reduced if I use electric power and battery altogethe? Thank you.

There is no need to disconnect the battery, however you can if you wish to. It will run on AC power alone, just fine.
The Lithium-Ion batteries used on Apple laptops have no "memory effect" and a very long service life, and you don't need to take any special measures to prolong their operating life. Older Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries required users to fully discharge and recharge the battery on a regular basis, and mercury-based rechargables required frequent recharging, both measures to combat the battery "memory effect". There is no need to worry about this on a modern laptop, though.
