run without battery

[mahmoud_01159]

hello, I was having a problem with my HP 745 g6 related to the battery so it does not work anymore, so if I removed the inlet battery from the laptop would it run, or do I have a problem

Hi:

Most notebooks will run without the internal battery installed, and you are lucky that your notebook has a RTC battery to maintain the BIOS settings.

Most notebooks that have internal batteries do not have RTC batteries and the main battery also serves as the RTC battery.

thanks a lot,

I will try now to remove the inlet battery and use the laptop because it is bulging now and I am afraid that will affect other components in the motherboard.

You're very welcome.

Yes, that is an excellent idea to remove the battery before the swelling seriously deforms other parts.
