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 ?
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%

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? 😀

Hey! I am also using a razer laptop. Razer stealth 13 to be exact. I am not sure if the problem is my adapter or my laptop battery. My laptop does not seem bloated and gpu temperature usually reaches 27-54°. It only reaches the highest when I play games. Other than that it stays at home unmoved, untouched. I baby it and blow off dust and wipe away some oil. I wouldn’t want to purchase a $100 official razer adapter just to find out the problem was the battery. I ended up purchasing an adapter from amazon and it hasn’t come in yet. If it still won’t charge, I might do what you did for 2 years. Did you remove the battery yourself or just left it in and keep disabling the driver/device?
if you use laptop without battery, check Properties of the ssd or hdd and turn off write optimizations, as Windows may not flush all data to disk. In case power fails for a few seconds, it can lose some of your data or corrupt the disk. If you have battery in, you can leave it enabled.
Just found it the problem is my power brick. My dad's an electrical engineer and he said he wouldn't recommend using the razer laptop without the battery because the power or electricity coming in is not filtered without a battery (whatever that means). Ended up purchasing a 100W GAD brick from amazon and microcenter and it works nice.

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.
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!
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 man you just helped me . I am so thankful for you 🙏🙏 I had my exam and my battery was swollen and I typed on CZcams 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

I thought this video would help me, but I was mistaken. Now my laptop isn't working at all. I follow the instruction where the battery icon disappeared. Not only is my laptop not working I can't power it on. The only thing I can do now is to buy a new computer or a battery. I really thought this would work.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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

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
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!
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.
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.
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
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!

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.
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!
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 man you just helped me .
I am so thankful for you 🙏🙏
I had my exam and my battery was swollen and I typed on CZcams 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.
as a stoner and someone who knows nothing about my laptop. thank you for your help. my laptop is running much faster now. and better. you rock sir.
This was so useful and I’m so thankful for this! You’re a life saver!
oh man i just used yr guide, ty alot
God bless you my man, you answered my question that I had, thanks for the help💪🏾💪🏾💯
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.
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.
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
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.
it only works for certain laptops. mine shuts it down if you are running without battery
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.
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.
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 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

This was a very helpful video. Thank you.
You just answered 😳 such a nice question, you are genius 👍🏻😁 really I liked your work
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.

Beautifully explained. Thank you.
Subscribed....bro I was waiting for this for years...
I thought this video would help me, but I was mistaken. Now my laptop isn't working at all. I follow the instruction where the battery icon disappeared. Not only is my laptop not working I can't power it on. The only thing I can do now is to buy a new computer or a battery. I really thought this would work.
Purely well done tutorial. The best tutorial on youtube ngl
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
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 ?
So intelligent, easily understandable. Thank you.
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?
Thanks for the information 😊
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?
it is safe to use laptop without battery? especially gaming laptop
been using mine without any battery for years haha
@@kaizen12_96 ok ill try 👍🏿
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.
Thanks you very much for your sharing knowledge. I have followed your method during i have been waiting the order new battery came.
Does this option save battery life without taking the battery out
thank you a lot for this video,
my question is does it affect the battery health ?
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
Excellent worked like a charm 🥳🥳🥳
That was helpful video, great work 😮
You sir are a lifesaver! Thank you!
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
holy shit I wish I knew this earlier, my battery would’ve stopped buldging
Same problem. Did you try it? Did it work??
Thanks, that’s very helpful information.
I can extend the lifespan of my laptop battery with this function.
You may have just solved a two year nightmare for me.... thank you for this post!
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
Thank you so much for this wonderful informative video! ❤
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?
Thank you so much to this sir ☺️ now i can work with my project in school
Awesome - glad it worked!
thanks for the info man !!!
this really work?
if yes, I need it because my battery no longer holds the charge and it swallow .

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
Thanks mate, very helpful!! :)
Just the right topic video loved it ❤😊
Great Video, Dude!
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!
@@AskaComputerGeek i think the only time i should let the it stay plugged in is when i wont need to use it on battery for a couple of days
my laptop turns off when longer use
Can I just disabling the batteries in the device manager instead of disconnect & remove it out?
My laptop has a bloated battery,. Will disabling the battery as in this video stop the bloated battery from growing? Thanks.
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?
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.
does this mean if i disable the battery and then unplug the charger my laptop will shut down/turn off?
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.
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
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
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!
Thank you so much, just about to go into a job interview and my battery decides to stop charging
Disabling ACPI it will disable your laptop gpu power supply. It will use the cpu instead as your video card.

Hi! Thank you for the video. May I ask, whether we can disable battery even if we cannot access device manager? My computer stopped opening. So I researched and saw that it is a battery issue. 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? (When I order a batter it takes more than a week and unfortunately I had very urgent issues to do.) Can you advise what I can do?
You're really impressive, thank you bro 👌
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
Great video but how do I keep my laptop connected to DC power supply 24/7 but automatically switch to Battery Power when there is a power failure?
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
You manage to figure out how? My legion laptop wont run at all or even show the power indicator without the battery connected
