battery inside laptop

[JCFranco]

Hello, apologies in advance for my English, it is not my native language.

I´ve recently bought an HP Omen 17 laptop. It´s the first time I see a laptop with an integrated battery and I was wondering if this is completely necessary.

I do not need to have a battery in the laptop, since I barely use it anywhere except my work station I was wanting to take the battery out of the laptop, but then I saw that I have to remove the base enclosure to do so, or at least that´s what this video says (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0-UFL2j1u4)

I was wondering if this is the correct video that I should follow, how to correctly remove the base enclosure AND, most importantly, if I can just remove the battery inside and close it again, and use the laptop normally just using the power connector.

Thank you.

JC

Yes, you have to remove at least 10 screws at the bottom

           

Please note: this is a very important thing: You need to keep battery inside because your machine does not have RTC (or BIOS) battery, you may get invalid time when booting machine.

Regards.
