    I usually take out my battery and just use the adapter only when am at home, if I go traveling I will insert the battery and use my laptop when am on an airplane. I mean other than that. If you’re just using the laptop at home there really is no need to use it unless you’re traveling. But using it without the battery won’t harm your laptop in anyway I’ve been using it that way for years on my old laptops and never had any issues. More convenient.

      I couldn't agree more. I've just bought a brand new battery and in order to preserve its design capacity, I only use it when electricity isn't available. I mean why would anyone want to wear down their expensive battery if the laptop is static on a desk? 😀

    Oh wow thank you so much Sir for this wonderful video! I’m a freelance digital artist and my laptop battery was swollen so I’m still waiting for replacement. I came across this video and it’s a total life saver! Thank you! I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to work for the next days or weeks having to wait for replacement. Plus this is a great tip considering I work a lot on the computer which could help minimize battery issues in the future.

    So it is practically the same to disable the battery driver than removing the battery from the laptop?

    Maybe it will solve somebody's problem. I have a Lenovo Yoga 310-910IKB with an old battery. Such a slim laptop with integrated battery like phone has. It can not run without battery. The trick is to add some energy impulse on startup. Find plus and minus wires going to the battery, the red and black. Then attach an DC adapter with the same voltage. In parallel to the red and black, I have pairs of them. Make a T - solder in the middle of wire. Do not overload voltage too high, find almost the same. In my case 7,68V. A kind of old Nokia charger 7,5V works well for me. It is written on the battery what voltage is needed. Couple of resistors may decrease if too high. Or make a startup kit from AAA batteries 1,5 x 5 = 7,5V. Maybe more in parallel to be stronger. Or what is needed. The load through plus minus goes in both directions - using and charging, just there are voltage drops when BMS doesn't need to charge lithium. So, anyway, attach this "starter" DC power supply source for a second or two when the main DC charger in USB-C is plugged in but the laptop sees the dead battery and does nothing. Instantly the laptop thinks "the battery is ok '' because the battery gives energy, necessary amps in fact. And Lenovo starts running also with blue keyboard lights -right the from USB-C charger power supply adapter that is strong with 20V. Just remember to disconnect additional "starter" DC to the battery. When keyboard lights turn off, then it is enaugh to push.
    Sometimes windows finds no battery or battery with 255% charged. Shows "plugged in" always. It does not matter what it shows. And datetime should be updated every time windows loads. What a shame.
    I had plenty of thoughts about expensive lithium replacement, or complete removal of the battery. But, there is the charging circuit integrated and small, BMS with its thermostat, cycles counter. Laptop almost talks with battery about its health. Eh, when it is designed and made to work with the battery then You can not simply remove it. Too complicated. Or should bypass battery and charging somehow. Some do it for phones, works on DC adapter.
    So, my take is: just wire up in parallel a small DC push on startup and it works.
    By the way, ventilation also takes energy. No need to cover completely everything, left a space for air. Cheers.

    A quick question, if I use my laptop without a battery and sudden power surge happens , will it affect the internal circuits and other components inside the laptop ?

    • @AskaComputerGeek
      @AskaComputerGeek  3 роки тому +7

      I can't say with certainty but I would imagine that your laptop would behave exactly the same whether you have a battery installed or not during a power surge because the AC adapter doesn't plug directly into the battery itself so your laptop's other components will still experience the surge. Of course, using a quality surge protector is ideal in either scenario!

    • @nilsfrahm1323
      @nilsfrahm1323 2 роки тому +1

      Usually the power adapter is isolated, it has capacitors that act like bottles for power and it very quickly fills them up to ensure they never get empty as laptop drains them. At same time, it makes lower voltage, like 19V, and those circuits adapt quickly to various input voltages. There are also fuses and protective diodes.
      If such a diode gets shorted due to a surge to protect your mainboard or hdd, you can take it to repair shop to replace just the burnt diode and it will work again.
      It's possible to just remove that diode, but you will have no more protection for next time.
      I had this happen to a hard drive, I played with some power wires and put them wrong.

    2. Should I open it up and disable the internal battery? What should I do about the external battery?
    3. Should I get the internal battery replaced at all?

    Is this harmful in any way? Otherwise this is really good for preserving your battery. When working at a desk for hours on end, you can just disable the battery at ~60% rather than continually plugging it in and out, or leaving the charger in at 100%. What do you think?

Opened up the computer and took the battery out. Indeed there was problem. It was swallen. Yet now I plug the computer by the adaptor and it does not open. So is there any way to do the same thing you did (disable the battery) without turning on the computer?
