If you haven't had it unplugged recently (so it's still charging up), sitting at 98% whilst plugged in means your battery is constantly draining and recharging even when plugged into mains which will definitely shorten the life of the battery. Modern batteries should hit 100% and then automatically stop charging and run purely from mains.
