Bulging battery

[Ryanthusar]

Ok, its probably been asked before and answered but my searching skills arent 100%. 

I have a Pavilion 15-CW1063WM and the battery has bulged in it, mostly due to it having been on mains all the time. Can the battery be removed and it still run on mains power without a battery inserted?

Welcome to HP Support Community

I would like to help

If there are no other Hardware issues, the Notebook should work with the AC Adapter plugged in even without the Battery

Thank you

It will work but with internal batteries the system also uses it as a clock/CMOS battery to keep system time and maintain settings. If there is not a working battery, then any time you take power away the time will go back to the default date and all BIOS settings will be lost. You really need a working battery and you need to take out the bulging one before it wrecks the casing of the laptop.

That is good, now to find a place to take the battery to for disposal, know of a couple of places for such disposal, but not 100% certain so means some calls..

Wish they could make a lithium battery that wont bulge like that, wouldnt have noticed it if not for the laptop developing a wobble.

As to the CMOS side, not really worried about that since it doesnt get used for such work that requires any timestamping and being Win10 the clock is set to resynch with online time settings

Thanks for the replies.
