Lap Top Battery Removal

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

What effect does removing the battery from my lap top computer have while
using it on A/C and then storing the computer with battery left out?

Carey...I can start and run my computer on A/C just fine without the battery
installed. My question is does it harm anything while running or while off?

The laptop mfg'r manual is the authority. Some might
require the battery be installed, some might not.

No effect. Note though, that this won't extend battery life if that's why
you're asking.

The only problems you could have are:

1) Internal battery charger becomes defective (will not charge a battery.)

2) Battery loose its charge or does not keep a charge.

3) Laptop case cracks around the battery compartment.

If any of these occur and the laptop manufacturer confirms that this was
cause by a missing battery, this could void your warranty.
