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.
volt of chager is bigger than battery; so why laptop can work without burn ?? charger is 19 v and battery almost less why computer not burn or damaged with charger only ?
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? 😀
Nice video, it helps a lot of people. Actually for those who don't know, when your laptop plugin in ac and you are playing games or any work you do from your laptop, you will notice that the performance of your laptop is getting maximize and which is good...
Even when I "disable" my battery on the device manager, I can still use the laptop without plugging AC. All it does is just disappear from the task bar. It does not disable it really.
Yes me too. I wonder if without plugging AC or having a brown out the computer automatically use the battery for safety purposes for not to harm the pc?? I need a clear answer because im confused too. Whether its saving my battery life or just killing it secretly..

@@KJmadKing Its best to save battery longevity by keeping it charged to 50%. If you unplug entirely, it will likely drain lower than 50% and damage the battery over time. If you can, use the laptop control software to set it to 50-80%

@Its__MeShorts Hey there! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with your laptop. It's definitely frustrating when things don't work as expected. It's interesting that even the mechanic was puzzled by it. Generally, laptops should indeed work without a battery, but sometimes there can be specific issues with certain models. The fact that it's a TOSHIBA slim laptop with a touch screen adds an extra layer of complexity. Have you tried reaching out to TOSHIBA customer support for assistance?
@@SouravKumar-wd8wi Personally, I've been running mine without the battery, and everything's been smooth sailing so far! Take out the battery, plug in your laptop, and you're good to go indefinitely since it stays connected to a power outlet all the time.
So it is practically the same to disable the battery driver than removing the battery from the laptop? I mean, if turning off the battery driver means that the laptop doesn't recognize the battery and can only work with the AC plugged in, it would be the same than removing the battery in practical terms, wouldn't it?
from what i have experienced, no, when you plug the laptop to wall power, it also will charge the battery untill it reaches 100%. so in other words, windows won't tell you about the battery's existence, but will still charge the battery.
@@nofuntag9582 Hi, I'm interested to learn more. Does this mean that the redirection of power only occurs as long as the battery is not activated through the device manager or does it work regardless of this?
@@neddymarella1571 power is splited between battery and pc whenever one needs the more i.e. if the battery is low it'll charge if the battery is full the power will still go through battery but most of the power is going in the pc itself
I tried this because my battery is dead but, mine won't turn on without the battery plugged in, also it'll slows down after a few minutes when the orange light is flashing
I pulled the battery on my old Alienware from 2014 to clean out the fan and when I plugged the battery back in it smoked like crazy and melted the connection since it’s so old I really don’t want to put any money into it I’ve already got a new $65 screen on the way but I think I’m just going to use it plugged in 24/7 , sooo my question is , will this be harmful to the laptop if I use it long term with no battery ?
Oh thank you! Previously, my laptop battery, which was mostly powered by mains voltage at home, failed within 2 years, even though I barely used its battery. Therefore, I removed the battery from my next laptop when I used it at home. the current one has it built in, but with it disabled I hope it will work longer if needed.
Thanks a lot for the information! I was trying to diagnose if my battery was the cause of a crackling sound issue. Now that I booted without it, it turns out the subwoofer was faulty not the battery.
Wow. Thanks! I love my old Dell but the battery is dead. I don't need a new battery, my laptop lives on my desk anyway. It's always plugged in to power and my computer periodically (and inexplicably) shuts down due to battery failure. A five second fix and I think it'll work now!
My battery had actually swelled, so getting it out was critical. Thanks for this post, as it worked great for me and I am still able to use my computer without the batter!
This method is not valid. I disabled the battery driver while my laptop wasn't connected to the AC adapter. The battery icon disappeared, but my laptop continued operating. I also turned my laptop off and on again and booted normally. The battery LED is still on. Laptop: HP Envy 13-ah0001nv
Thank you. Saved myself having to open up my laptop to physically disconnect the faulty battery to stop windows shutting down within a minute of booing. A dual boot computer where Ubuntu has no issue. Unfortunately I need Windows to run two applications, otherwise it would be redundant. Thanks again.
This is the only video that provided information confirming that I just needed to disable the driver and UNPLUG THE BATTERY CABLE without removing anything else -- to be able to use my Ideapad 330S without battery. Thank you for the complete information which I badly needed.
volt of chager is bigger than battery; so why laptop can work without burn ?? charger is 19 v and battery almost less why computer not burn or damaged with charger only ?
i have the same question... hope someone in here can answer this...🙏 also, my personal additional question would be if i only disable the battery on the 'DEVICE MANAGER' windows WHETHER OR NOT I actually remove the battery inside the laptop, WILL I NOT RUN IN SOME WARNING PROMPT AND/OR ISSUES WHEN I TURN ON THE LAPTOP PLUGGED IN?
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.
I wanted to remove the battery to see if I had a Ac Power issue and I was stunned - I'm from the old days - when I saw that I had to open the laptop to remove the battery, I immediately thought: does the laptop only work with the battery? but if it was true, I thought it was stupid. Whatever because I didn't have the right screwdriver - the screws were special - I ended up not doing the test. Well, you've just done the test for me and I thank you very much for that! But one question remains: is it bad for the battery to be working all the time when I actually use the laptop as a PC, always plugged in?
i have found that while disabling it and when remove the ac adapter , it will show a pop up in my laptop that the laptop is running on battery , lol, this is not what I am searching , yes if it can just switch off as soon as I remove the charger , makes some sense , because I just want to save my battery because I am always plug in my laptop so,,,,,,,,,,,, any way to achieve it, please mention
hey buddy this method is not working on my asus laptop.I enable the the batterie then I take ac adaptor and the pc keeps working on the batterie do you have any other solution
I'm scared to use this method... I heard that my laptop is the type that cannot be powered without a battery. However, if you use the method above, Won't everyone suddenly die? And, I'm worried that I won't be able to turn on my laptop since I won't be able to configure the battery settings. I want to use the above method to check if the power really doesn't come on without the battery, but I'm worried that the power may go out and I won't be able to turn on the laptop. In a case like mine, is there any solution? Please reply.
1. Even after disabling the battery it's still charging(though the battery symbol has disappeared.) Will it affect my battery as it's still charging? 2. Is there anyway to enable the battery when the laptop is turned off incase there is no AC power available? Waiting for a prompt reply. Thank you! Great video man. Keep up the good work!!
I imagine there would need to be some kind of controller in place to recognise the interruption and switch over. Tho this would be a pretty cool functionality, like an internal ups that kicks in only when there’s a power loss.
Hi, I have a question. Despite removing the battery from the device manager I noticed that it still got charged to its full capacity. I am doing this to preserve the battery life so I was wondering if it's better if I just use the battery and unplug it when it's fully charged or if it won't get damaged as long as I disable it.
Disabling Battery Manager in control panel will only stop the windows service, but physically if you connect charging plug to laptop will still exists a electrical connection between charger and battery, so YES YOUR BATTERY WILL BE FULLY CHARGED in some time, and of course the life time of battery will be reduced. The only way to prevent or care battery is physically disconnect the battery from the main board.
@@CyberSonic157yes! That would be great. Because did you know although some things might work others might not. Like your GPU. The software is programming the battery and GPU to work together. Since the gpus draw so much power the battery acts as a backup to power other things or as a backup in general while the adapter runs and powers other components. The software recognizes that the battery has been disabled and without it the dGPU won't work as it draws so much power. My adapter is 210w powering a gaming laptop and the dGPU draws like 140wH at peak performance. This might work for a notebook or ThinkPad but not high performance laptops 😢
I unplugged the laptop battery from mother board, and i am using via direct connection, however i am not able to use my 1050ti laptop gpu. is there anything i can do to fix?
My battery has expanded inside so much that it is falling into pieces so I want to remove it completely. So I hope you are right about this. What people have to understand is that if there is a power failure they will lose anything they are working on though. Just be careful when you take your laptop apart to remove it that you note where the connectors to the keyboard actually go as they do come loose very easily and they are a pain in the ass to reconnect.
Thanks a lot for this video,I have a question about if I have a internal battery and I won't to remove it I can removed it with the système,and this method will damaged my battery after plugged with a charger
So do I need to unplug the battery to fully prevent it from getting charged or is it just enough to change my settings? Bc I don't want current to run through my battery, even if it doesn't charge it
I tried disabling my Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery, and it did disable, and forced me to reboot, and then the system came back up without the battery icon, however! if I unplug the AC adapter from the laptop, the laptop still continues to run using the battery. So apparently I cannot stop using the battery, and also, I noticed that the charging LED still illuminates when I plug in the AC adapter. So I'm not sure your video is factually correct. It seems to me that this driver is only monitors the battery and changes the performance parameters of the system to suit the battery's current charge level. It cannot tell the battery to turn off its ability to power the laptop. Without that manager running, I guess the system will not regulate power used with respect to the charge level of the battery, but otherwise will be unaffected.
At least on my Dell 5490 laptop all this does is to turn off the battery icon in the notification area but the battery is still charging and in use. Can I do anything about that?
finally my question is now answered. I don't want to use my battery , i just want to preserve it for something very useful. it's great that laptop can work without a battery. thank you.
Question: I unplugged my battery from my laptop and my computer still doesn't come on even with the charger. It wasn't coming on before so I did this to see if it'd help. I plugged my charger into a different computer to see if it was the problem but the other computer said it was charging so what do I do?
Nice video, but I think that all it does is disables the OS driver. Yet we all know that laptop can be charged even when OS/laptop is turned off. You can check if this works by first discharging your battery, then plugging laptop charger through watt-meter: if laptop starts charging, then this doesn't work. Guess what? It didn't work in my case: laptop started charging at full power as soon as I plugged it in.
Is it possible to use an external power bank rather than the power charger if the battery is no longer functioning? how long will the power bank last? How to purchase a power bank?
First of all thanks for the information. 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 ?
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!
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.

There will be no damage when doing this! Unlike a desktop computer that has an internal power supply that you plug into the wall, laptops just use the AC adapter for continuous power as the total wattage is much less.

I pulled the battery on my old Alienware from 2014 to clean out the fan and when I plugged the battery back in it smoked like crazy and melted the connection since it’s so old I really don’t want to put any money into it I’ve already got a new $65 screen on the way but I think I’m just going to use it plugged in 24/7 , sooo my question is , will this be harmful to the laptop if I use it long term with no battery ?
You found any answers?
Oh thank you! Previously, my laptop battery, which was mostly powered by mains voltage at home, failed within 2 years, even though I barely used its battery. Therefore, I removed the battery from my next laptop when I used it at home. the current one has it built in, but with it disabled I hope it will work longer if needed.
Thanks a lot for the information!
I was trying to diagnose if my battery was the cause of a crackling sound issue. Now that I booted without it, it turns out the subwoofer was faulty not the battery.
Glad it helped - thanks for watching!
Wow. Thanks! I love my old Dell but the battery is dead. I don't need a new battery, my laptop lives on my desk anyway. It's always plugged in to power and my computer periodically (and inexplicably) shuts down due to battery failure. A five second fix and I think it'll work now!
You facing any issues? Running without battery im thinking to remove battery as I want to run laptop 24/7
My battery had actually swelled, so getting it out was critical. Thanks for this post, as it worked great for me and I am still able to use my computer without the batter!
This method is not valid. I disabled the battery driver while my laptop wasn't connected to the AC adapter. The battery icon disappeared, but my laptop continued operating. I also turned my laptop off and on again and booted normally. The battery LED is still on. Laptop: HP Envy 13-ah0001nv
Can I just disabling the batteries in the device manager instead of disconnect & remove it out?
This was so useful and I’m so thankful for this! You’re a life saver!
Thank you. Saved myself having to open up my laptop to physically disconnect the faulty battery to stop windows shutting down within a minute of booing. A dual boot computer where Ubuntu has no issue. Unfortunately I need Windows to run two applications, otherwise it would be redundant. Thanks again.
This is the only video that provided information confirming that I just needed to disable the driver and UNPLUG THE BATTERY CABLE without removing anything else -- to be able to use my Ideapad 330S without battery. Thank you for the complete information which I badly needed.
Does this option save battery life without taking the battery out
So I can just disable battery via device manager (as taking out battery in my laptop is hard) and It will just take power from AC adapter?
I really needed these informations thank you so much !
Glad to hear it thanks for watching!
volt of chager is bigger than battery; so why laptop can work without burn ?? charger is 19 v and battery almost less why computer not burn or damaged with charger only ?
My laptop has a bloated battery,. Will disabling the battery as in this video stop the bloated battery from growing? Thanks.
If I only disable the battery driver on the device manager, will the battery stop working or must I remove it?
i have the same question... hope someone in here can answer this...🙏 also, my personal additional question would be if i only disable the battery on the 'DEVICE MANAGER' windows WHETHER OR NOT I actually remove the battery inside the laptop, WILL I NOT RUN IN SOME WARNING PROMPT AND/OR ISSUES WHEN I TURN ON THE LAPTOP PLUGGED IN?
Depends software might be integrated with your GPU. Disabling anything will disable your GPU or anything else anyway .
so i can actually remove my battery (from software) without actually removing the battery (hardware)
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.
Dude thank you so much. My battery is having a problem causing my pc to sleep randomly. So now with battery disabled i have no problem.
Hello, this solution doesnt work in my Dell Inspiron 15 7566 , i did all and laptop still dont turning on without battery, do you have aby idea why?
Software.
I wanted to remove the battery to see if I had a Ac Power issue and I was stunned - I'm from the old days - when I saw that I had to open the laptop to remove the battery, I immediately thought: does the laptop only work with the battery? but if it was true, I thought it was stupid. Whatever because I didn't have the right screwdriver - the screws were special - I ended up not doing the test. Well, you've just done the test for me and I thank you very much for that! But one question remains: is it bad for the battery to be working all the time when I actually use the laptop as a PC, always plugged in?
Is it possible to use the laptop like you said disable the battery from device manager? I mean no removing battery from inside
And in that case, would the battery be preserved ?
i have found that while disabling it and when remove the ac adapter , it will show a pop up in my laptop that the laptop is running on battery , lol, this is not what I am searching , yes if it can just switch off as soon as I remove the charger , makes some sense , because I just want to save my battery because I am always plug in my laptop so,,,,,,,,,,,, any way to achieve it, please mention
hey buddy this method is not working on my asus laptop.I enable the the batterie then I take ac adaptor and the pc keeps working on the batterie do you have any other solution
Mine too. Disables the dGPU completely. I think it's our software buddy.
Please help me, I just did all those instructions but my laptop isn't working now 😢
Did you find a solution it happened to me also
I'm scared to use this method...
I heard that my laptop is the type that cannot be powered without a battery.
However, if you use the method above,
Won't everyone suddenly die?
And, I'm worried that I won't be able to turn on my laptop since I won't be able to configure the battery settings.
I want to use the above method to check if the power really doesn't come on without the battery, but I'm worried that the power may go out and I won't be able to turn on the laptop.
In a case like mine, is there any solution?
Please reply.
1. Even after disabling the battery it's still charging(though the battery symbol has disappeared.) Will it affect my battery as it's still charging?
2. Is there anyway to enable the battery when the laptop is turned off incase there is no AC power available?
Waiting for a prompt reply. Thank you!
Great video man. Keep up the good work!!
I too am here for the answer to this question, can anyone help?
I imagine there would need to be some kind of controller in place to recognise the interruption and switch over.
Tho this would be a pretty cool functionality, like an internal ups that kicks in only when there’s a power loss.
i tried disabling the driver, my battery was 80% before, played for a while then when i was done i enabled the driver and the battery was 100%
@@FashionableTennoso this vid is completely useless for preserving battery life ?
Hi, I have a question. Despite removing the battery from the device manager I noticed that it still got charged to its full capacity. I am doing this to preserve the battery life so I was wondering if it's better if I just use the battery and unplug it when it's fully charged or if it won't get damaged as long as I disable it.
Disabling Battery Manager in control panel will only stop the windows service, but physically if you connect charging plug to laptop will still exists a electrical connection between charger and battery, so YES YOUR BATTERY WILL BE FULLY CHARGED in some time, and of course the life time of battery will be reduced. The only way to prevent or care battery is physically disconnect the battery from the main board.
That's unfortunate. I don't know why the OS can't just sever the connection. @@Kuchuflaz
@@CyberSonic157yes! That would be great. Because did you know although some things might work others might not. Like your GPU. The software is programming the battery and GPU to work together. Since the gpus draw so much power the battery acts as a backup to power other things or as a backup in general while the adapter runs and powers other components. The software recognizes that the battery has been disabled and without it the dGPU won't work as it draws so much power. My adapter is 210w powering a gaming laptop and the dGPU draws like 140wH at peak performance. This might work for a notebook or ThinkPad but not high performance laptops 😢
Would be interesting to see how the absence of battery effects the airflow, cooling etc
I unplugged the laptop battery from mother board, and i am using via direct connection, however i am not able to use my 1050ti laptop gpu. is there anything i can do to fix?
it is safe to use laptop without battery? especially gaming laptop
been using mine without any battery for years haha
@@kaizenpyroph ok ill try 👍🏿
My battery has expanded inside so much that it is falling into pieces so I want to remove it completely. So I hope you are right about this.
What people have to understand is that if there is a power failure they will lose anything they are working on though.
Just be careful when you take your laptop apart to remove it that you note where the connectors to the keyboard actually go as they do come loose very easily and they are a pain in the ass to reconnect.
Thanks a lot for this video,I have a question about if I have a internal battery and I won't to remove it I can removed it with the système,and this method will damaged my battery after plugged with a charger
So do I need to unplug the battery to fully prevent it from getting charged or is it just enough to change my settings? Bc I don't want current to run through my battery, even if it doesn't charge it
I'd assume so yes
Purely well done tutorial. The best tutorial on youtube ngl
I tried disabling my Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery, and it did disable, and forced me to reboot, and then the system came back up without the battery icon, however! if I unplug the AC adapter from the laptop, the laptop still continues to run using the battery. So apparently I cannot stop using the battery, and also, I noticed that the charging LED still illuminates when I plug in the AC adapter.
So I'm not sure your video is factually correct. It seems to me that this driver is only monitors the battery and changes the performance parameters of the system to suit the battery's current charge level. It cannot tell the battery to turn off its ability to power the laptop.
Without that manager running, I guess the system will not regulate power used with respect to the charge level of the battery, but otherwise will be unaffected.
does this mean if i disable the battery and then unplug the charger my laptop will shut down/turn off?
At least on my Dell 5490 laptop all this does is to turn off the battery icon in the notification area but the battery is still charging and in use. Can I do anything about that?
Why is it that I disable my battery, but when i unplug my charger, its still working?
finally my question is now answered. I don't want to use my battery , i just want to preserve it for something very useful. it's great that laptop can work without a battery. thank you.
Update? If we keep battery disconnected it's safe?
Question: I unplugged my battery from my laptop and my computer still doesn't come on even with the charger. It wasn't coming on before so I did this to see if it'd help. I plugged my charger into a different computer to see if it was the problem but the other computer said it was charging so what do I do?
Nice video, but I think that all it does is disables the OS driver. Yet we all know that laptop can be charged even when OS/laptop is turned off. You can check if this works by first discharging your battery, then plugging laptop charger through watt-meter: if laptop starts charging, then this doesn't work. Guess what? It didn't work in my case: laptop started charging at full power as soon as I plugged it in.
You may have just solved a two year nightmare for me.... thank you for this post!
Subscribed....bro I was waiting for this for years...
I know it does work with out a battery but what I need to know is how to turn it back on after its been unplugged for a while?
How to disable acpi but the gpu driver can using too??? Cuz if i disable that, i can't using gpu cuz the driver not available
Is it possible to use an external power bank rather than the power charger if the battery is no longer functioning? how long will the power bank last? How to purchase a power bank?
Why is my laptop keeps on turning off even i removed the battery even it's plugged-in in AC?
I have the same issue,did u get the solution
First of all thanks for the information.
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 ?
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!
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.

If i run my laptop without a battery, and the power gets unplugged by mistake or the house loses power, what happens to all my files and settings?
Thank you. While laptop is plugged in, screen backlight keeps going light or back-and-forth between light and normal, so I was concerned if I'd be needing to replace the battery soon. From my understanding of this vid, I'd still be able to use my laptop with just the ac adapter plugged into the wall outlet. Very reassuring.
Hi - I only use my HP Envy m7 Notebook laptop plugged in and now my startup message is telling me that my storage capacity is very low for my Primary Internal Battery (601). Questions:
1. Can I just leave it as is and everything will be ok?
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?

What if i don't have the battery in my laptop & i want to turn it on ?
Is there any hardware changes that i can do to bypass this
Do only disabling the battery from Device manager make it not charge? Please reply me as I don't have the right screw to remove the back of my laptop to remove my battery. Will it work and not charge the battery by just disabling it from Device manager?
Is there any damage to the laptop when it is connected all day to electricity ?
By the way i removed the internal battery and my device is Dell latitude E5570
There will be no damage when doing this! Unlike a desktop computer that has an internal power supply that you plug into the wall, laptops just use the AC adapter for continuous power as the total wattage is much less.
Disable battery will make mother board broken?
This will surely help me in gaming !! Thank You a lot but a doubt what if we are running it like a desktop and the power supply cuts will it switch off ? And how do I turn it on using battery ?

Hello sir is removing the internal non-removable battery and just disabling the battery in the device manager have the same outcome? What I did is I just disabled my battery from my device manager cause I'm afraid to open the laptop as I may damage other hardwares. Is that okay? Will it work now with just the A/C plugged in and not using the laptop battery? Hoping for your answer thank you so much
No, disabling in the device manager only make the battery icon go, the battery will still be conected and charging. Good video but doesn't include this glitch so basically useless.
What if unplugging the battery and just using the charger, the laptop still won't come on? It could simply be the charger? Thanks
there is any side effect to do that? because we dont want to plug/unplug when batteries is fully charged...coz what i know if we always plug the power even batteries full it will damage the batteries..am i right? please advice 🙏

Thank you for the video. If I disable the battery, will it prevent the occurrence of the liquid and subsequent rusting on connected components, similar to what happens in AA or AAA batteries when it's not used for a long time?
so i did this and at first the battery would just come back on without me enabling the option but then the prompt showed up with "restart to activate this feature" or something like that so i did and now the icon for my battery in the taskbar is gone and the laptop still works even if i unplug it, does that mean that the feature doesn't work or that it switched back to the battery automatically?
Not a compete presentation. What are the exceptions? What if your power adapter is the wrong one and it is underpowered? By not having the battery in, it could overload the power adapter and cause issues.
This was a very helpful video. Thank you.
