Load testing battery

Can u do a load test of battery while it’s connected
To car, or do you have to remove the damn thing?
Or can u just disconnect battery terminals?

You can. For reliable results, you want to do it directly on the battery in the trunk, though, not via the underhood terminals.

I would not.

I dont think the old school "pile tester" will hurt it but the modern testers Im not sure what they do.

You could get low voltage to the car and thats never good.

I would remove and test.
