Is there any feature to direct charge the laptop?

[Rjnkitory]

Hi,

Is there any feature to disconnect the battery and direct charge the laptop like a PC?
My laptop battery is built-in so I can't take it out like other laptops.

Thanks a lot

An internal / built-in battery can tested (unless its swollen, in which case testing is a waste of time).

An internal / built-in battery can be removed - most laptops will run on AC power alone.  It's not ideal since you are completely dependent on AC power - but it generally works OK.

An internal / built-in battery can be removed and replaced.

The computer's Service Guide provides the part number(s) and the procedure for replacing the battery.

There are videos to help make the process seem easier, too.

My battery is fine
I just want to disconnect the battery and charge directly because I don't bring my laptop anywhere
Charging the battery and use it could decrease its durability so I want a power supply to go directly to the laptop so it doesn't go through the battery.
Is there any way to do this

Thanks

Sounds like you want a Desktop.  Smiling.

Leaving the battery in the computer and leaving the computer connected to AC power won't degrade the battery faster - in fact, if you leave the computer always connected to AC power, the battery might (MIGHT) last a few weeks or months longer than if you constantly drain and recharge the battery (use up its "cycles").  Meh.

The battery won't "overcharge".

On the other hand, disconnecting the battery and leaving the battery to die will definitely kill it off.  Once drained dead, that's it.  Dead - not coming back.  

Regardless of what you do, that battery has a limited shelf life.

The charger (AC Adapter) and the battery are meant to be used to safely maintain and charge the electrical system in the computer.

The battery can add capacitance to the power bus to prevent damage to the system board.  I won't defend that statement - it is just a passing thought on the subject.

Batteries generally run about $50 to $90 USD to replace.

Can't stand it?  Battery keeping you up at night?

If you really want to explore "alternative" charge methods, have the discussion with an electrical engineer.   You might need to wait for him / her / them to stop chuckling but it's worth the time to understand what you are doing and how your computer works, I think.

Stay Safe.
