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.

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? 😀
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..
yes true nowadays there is a software of all laptop brand where u can find a battery charge limiter that limits the charging at 80% whenever the laptop is pulgged in , with this way u save the battery lifespan
@@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.

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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
There is a Gigabyte model where the battery is literally fixed under the computer without touching the chassis. You just have to "unlock" it to remove it without having to dismantle the whole chassis under the computer!
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.
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 wow, i didn't realize i don't even need the battery if it's always plugged in. thanks for the explanation. im going to just disable it when i'm at home
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.
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 ?
@@stefanandrei3779 yes! It's a dilemma .. I think I should start thinking about a desktop computer. If I could travel back in time, I would buy Bitcoin and a desktop computer. 😂😆 😓
@@TheCSandED or you can plug your power adaptor into a UPS(if you have one), which will act has an backup battery and will help in protecting the laptop during power surges.
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.

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
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.
@@TheValllr Yep, it does. The battery simply need power on startup, which is provided by additional adapter. When laptop loads windows, I disconnect this adapter. In fact, I disconnected old noisy coolers too that eat my lithium and simply little opened the back cover 10 mm to let coolers do the same from outside, made a flexible air tube. Little imagination and make Your PC great again.
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
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?
Hi, nice video. Sadly my new Legion 5 15,6" 5600H + RTX 3070 won't turn on without a battery plugged in. Even the laptop power led won't turn on when the power plug is on (without battery). When I turn the battery off on the device manager the laptop won't show the battery on the taskbar but the laptop will still run with a battery (without a power supply). This is weird and I don't know how to fix this. The laptop works great without any problems but I would like to remove the battery since I never run the PC without a power plug. Would be nice to save battery when I sell this or actually need it. I haven't found any tips online and if someone knows how to fix this I can give a huge virtual hug :) Thanks!
@@KSH172 For some weird reason I did search laptop bios settings like 2h ago (totally different reason). I found some setting about laptop battery + power. I didn't have time to check it out yet, but going to test that tomorrow. I'm hoping it will fix this issue.
Thank u sir. I thought my laptop will not gonna work if may battery is going to die. Currently my battery is 12% and i'm worried if it reach to 0%. Thank you for the info.
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.
Good video but i think it would be better if you disabled the battery and you didn’t remove or unplug the battery to see if it wont work without the power cable
I would like to know if you leave the battery in while disabled, lets say in case of a power cut would battery automatically activate in such case or would it remain unrecognised. Also if battery isn't fully charge would it automally charge while on this feature. And how does it affect battery conservative mode, or overcharging protection??
hey, is it better keep macbook's batter always at 20-80% or should I keep it plugged and let it drain a little occasionaly? I really liked the way you made the video.
Keeping the battery between 20-80% is ideal but it's hard to actually do this in practice. If you are disciplined enough to do it then it will help your battery life over time!
thanks for the video. i have a quick question! do I risk any possible damage if I use the lap top with no battery and just with the adaptor for a long term?
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.
Thanks man you just helped me . I am so thankful for you 🙏🙏 I had my exam and my battery was swollen and I typed on TH-cam can laptop work with out battery 🔋. And first' video was yours . Thankyou very much ❤️ for helping . Lots of love from India
Hi, My laptop shuts down at 50℅ charge. It's been 5 years I've been using hp laptop. Hp support suggested me to replace the battery. . I'm only using my laptop for attempting mock test for banking exams. Due to sudden shut down I'm facing difficulties. Should I replace the battery? Or it's better to use while plug in? If it's possible then kindly need your suggestion.
Great video, straight to the point and no filler. A shame more videos like this don’t do half the job at getting straight to the point. I have a question however, if you disable the battery in Device Manager, as it’s still connected to the main board, will the battery continue to charge? And if it does, is there a way do disable charging without physically disconnecting it? I ask for the reasons of maintaining long term battery health, obviously it can’t be great to have the battery charged at 100% constantly. Many thanks.
Thanks for your kind words of support! Unfortunately, the board will still continue to charge/discharge although it will do so at a slower rate. As far as I know, you can't prevent this without physically disconnecting the battery internally.
@@AskaComputerGeek ah thanks for the reply, yes this is what I suspected would be the case. Just replaced the battery on an old Alienware, I think I will drain, then fully charge over night as per new battery recommendations, then finally drain to 70% before physically disconnecting for long term storage after applying your method. Thanks again for the video, it’s pretty slick. I’ll be checking out the channel.
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?
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? Thank you so much for your help…
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 😢
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?
Acer Aspire 5720. Quite old laptop from 2007. But if it's Battery remove, it will just not start in any way. Almost every Acer from that era does the same.
Thanks for your info!!! I am going to remove my almost dead battery and follow your instructions to just have it plugged in all the time. God bless you!
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.
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?

@@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
How
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 ?
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much, just about to go into a job interview and my battery decides to stop charging
Would be interesting to see how the absence of battery effects the airflow, cooling etc
oh man i just used yr guide, ty alot
You may have just solved a two year nightmare for me.... thank you for this post!
There is a Gigabyte model where the battery is literally fixed under the computer without touching the chassis. You just have to "unlock" it to remove it without having to dismantle the whole chassis under the computer!
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?
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?
I think this mostly works for laptops with bad batteries and maybe under performing models
oh wow, i didn't realize i don't even need the battery if it's always plugged in. thanks for the explanation. im going to just disable it when i'm at home
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.
Does this option save battery life without taking the battery out
the real cuestion is if the charger can manage the laptop on full load ,olders ones tend to restart when you try to launch a game
Why don't they make a laptop without a battery? I always plug in my laptop anyway. This would save weight and money
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 ?
you can try it :)) and tell me how it goes bcs i am intrested

@@TheCSandED or you can plug your power adaptor into a UPS(if you have one), which will act has an backup battery and will help in protecting the laptop during power surges.
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.

This was so useful and I’m so thankful for this! You’re a life saver!
my laptop turns off when longer use
My laptop doesn't have bypass charging, i think i have found a new alternative, thank you so much sir.
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
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.
What?
@@TheValllr Yep, it does. The battery simply need power on startup, which is provided by additional adapter. When laptop loads windows, I disconnect this adapter. In fact, I disconnected old noisy coolers too that eat my lithium and simply little opened the back cover 10 mm to let coolers do the same from outside, made a flexible air tube. Little imagination and make Your PC great again.
Disabling ACPI it will disable your laptop gpu power supply. It will use the cpu instead as your video card.
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 ?
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
Great, thank you! My battery is death, my laptop still lives. Thank you again.
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?
Hi, nice video. Sadly my new Legion 5 15,6" 5600H + RTX 3070 won't turn on without a battery plugged in. Even the laptop power led won't turn on when the power plug is on (without battery). When I turn the battery off on the device manager the laptop won't show the battery on the taskbar but the laptop will still run with a battery (without a power supply). This is weird and I don't know how to fix this. The laptop works great without any problems but I would like to remove the battery since I never run the PC without a power plug. Would be nice to save battery when I sell this or actually need it.
I haven't found any tips online and if someone knows how to fix this I can give a huge virtual hug :) Thanks!
Currently in the same boat dude

my question is does it affect the battery health ?
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?
Good video but i think it would be better if you disabled the battery and you didn’t remove or unplug the battery to see if it wont work without the power cable
Same question, does it work?
Can I just disabling the batteries in the device manager instead of disconnect & remove it out?
it is safe to use laptop without battery? especially gaming laptop

Thaks, now during gaming I can disconnect my battery without opening a laptop.
I would like to know if you leave the battery in while disabled, lets say in case of a power cut would battery automatically activate in such case or would it remain unrecognised. Also if battery isn't fully charge would it automally charge while on this feature. And how does it affect battery conservative mode, or overcharging protection??
hey, is it better keep macbook's batter always at 20-80% or should I keep it plugged and let it drain a little occasionaly? I really liked the way you made the video.
Keeping the battery between 20-80% is ideal but it's hard to actually do this in practice. If you are disciplined enough to do it then it will help your battery life over time!

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.

Great video, straight to the point and no filler. A shame more videos like this don’t do half the job at getting straight to the point.
I have a question however, if you disable the battery in Device Manager, as it’s still connected to the main board, will the battery continue to charge?
And if it does, is there a way do disable charging without physically disconnecting it?
I ask for the reasons of maintaining long term battery health, obviously it can’t be great to have the battery charged at 100% constantly.
Many thanks.
Thanks for your kind words of support!
Unfortunately, the board will still continue to charge/discharge although it will do so at a slower rate. As far as I know, you can't prevent this without physically disconnecting the battery internally.
@@AskaComputerGeek ah thanks for the reply, yes this is what I suspected would be the case.
Just replaced the battery on an old Alienware, I think I will drain, then fully charge over night as per new battery recommendations, then finally drain to 70% before physically disconnecting for long term storage after applying your method.
Thanks again for the video, it’s pretty slick. I’ll be checking out the channel.
Sounds like a solid plan - thanks again for watching!
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 .

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 😢

They work Asynchronously~!... Networking timing resolution time division from slopy woobly base of AC 50/60 fluctuations
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.
So intelligent, easily understandable. Thank you.
You just answered 😳 such a nice question, you are genius 👍🏻😁 really I liked your work
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?
It shouldn't cause any issues with your laptop - it's no different than a desktop PC that is plugged in at all times.
a lithium-ion battery has a standard storage capacity of 32%. Charge it to 32% before you disable it.
Your battery is still charging bro and the only thing is changed is that now you are not able to see your battery charging status
