Hi Community and Support,
My laptop battery is swollen (and is pushing up/open the actual casing - the track pad is not clicking as it should because of this).
Due to COVID-19 and some logistical challenges it will take me a little while to acquire a new battery. If I remove the swollen battery (out of safety concerns) until the new one arrives, will I still be able to plug in and use my laptop? (As long as it is plugged in)
Thanks! And here's an image of the damage below:

You can use your machine without battery. The downside is when main power suddenly lost, you may get unpredictable damages, specially HDD.
I actually has a machine like this for few years now
But I connect it to an UPS therefore I've got at least 10 mins to shut down my machine properly.
Regards.
