i read that its suggested to switch power plan to high performance and 'hard disk settings' to 'turn off hard disk after:never'.
if i also have a secondary hdd would this still be a good idea if i do use my laptop on battery sometimes? will it also lead to faster degradation of the hdd's platters/mechanism since it wont spin down?

Spin down setting aka turn off hard disk after doesn't apply to SSD iirc.
And, I believe it actually hurt the harddisk more if spin down/up alot instead of keeping it constantly spinning, but it is not significant enough to worry about. -
Good point on hdd. It might more be a battery thing.
