Over two years with mine, battery aging isn't noticeable. I'm pretty sure when plugged in and fully charged, the Deck runs off of external power. I don't know if it shunts around the battery or not, but it certainly isn't cycling the battery.
I mostly use my deck in a few fixed locations, so it's mostly plugged in.
re the shunt: yes it does
