00:47 - How a laptop works without a battery
03:13 - Removing the battery from my laptop for proof
Although laptops are designed to run with batteries, Windows treats the battery and the AC adapter as two completely separate devices and can function with the battery disabled or even completely uninstalled from the laptop.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Will it turn off like a bulb or will it automatically just to get power back from the battery to keep running like normal? Will my laptop turn on without the power cable if the battery is disabled in the software or do i have to now always connect my laptop to the wall outlet to get power and use it?

@AskaComputerGeek 3 жыл бұрын

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

@nilsfrahm1323 2 жыл бұрын

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 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.

Question. If i turn the device off and run out of energy in my house (the notebook will turn off 'cause it's getting it's power from the wall) and try to boot my notebook without the power suply, for example, will it automatically recognize the notebook's battery and boot using it?

Can I just disabling the batteries in the device manager instead of disconnect & remove it out?

@neddymarella1571 2 жыл бұрын

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.

Hi, read somewhere (?) laptops performances by default is reduced if a battery is disconnected, malfunction or whatever. Is it true or not? In case it is, please make a video about where to change the settings to overrule this, if ever possible? Thank You 4 THIS video!

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?

so do this mean that when i disable the acpi-compliant the battery is prevented from recieving engergy from the AC adapter? i have a swollen battery and i want to stop using it but i cant turn on the laptop when the battery is unplugged. Would be a safe way of using the laptop by just disabling the acpi-compliant?

Hi, do you have a video to change the laptop bulb as the device turns on but can just see very dim back light with no display. The brightness buttons didn't work before but is fine with a 2nd monitor. Many thx M

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.

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!

Hi @ask A Computer Geek . I have a doubt. My battery is totally out. I have been using my laptop like a desktop through power. I am travelling soon, and I want to use my laptop on power and properly shutdown before taking off the power. Essentially, can I use my laptop on power and shutdown while in power and take it out of power when not in use without damaging the laptop?

@oliverbarnosi3550 2 жыл бұрын

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.

My batter died just a few days ago and the icon shows "no battery detected" yet it runs fine while being charged. Two questions- Can I just not replace it and leave it at that? Can I play a game without a battery, and while being charged?

I've got an Aspire laptop (from like 2012) with removable battery. And last couple days whenever I turn it on as soon as screen turns on it starts having charger and power lights blinking on and off. Would shutting down completely, removing battery, and having charger plugged in fix that issue til I can buy a replacement battery?
