Does the battery need to be removed from the drone when not in use?

It doesn't have to be but it's good practice to remove it. These batteries can go up in flames on rare occasions, destroying everything nearby (very rare).

It is recommended to remove the battery from the aircraft if you do not use it for a long time, please check more details of how to maintain the battery here: http://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/inspire_1_pro/en/Inspire_1_%20series_Intelligent_Flight_Battery_Safety_Guidelines_v1.2_en.pdf

Thank you.

Oddly enough, the Inspire 1s were shipped with the battery in the bird......
