Help settle an argument please.  | | | | OK so I got a new laptop and I had it at my sisters house. There was a family friend there who started a little argument. I told my sister that her battery needed to be charged on her laptop before she could use it. And Curtis (the friend) said that a laptop will work without its battery as long as its plugged into the wall outlet. Is this true? Can a laptop work without the battery installed as long as its plugged in? | | Can a laptop work without its battery installed if | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | I think it will work in a wall outlet. My stepdaughter used to sometimes plug it in that way. It is still a good idea to charge the battery too though. | | | | | | | Lifez2short (1404)

| | Yeah I have to fully charged batteries. I just didn't think it was possible to have it on without a battery. But maybe I'm wrong who knows. | | | | | | | SONY VAIO Laptop Sale Shop speed, quality & design. 2nd gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor. store.sony.com/VAIO | add comment | | | |

| | I think it depends on the laptop, but I have run mine without the battery connected, just through the wall outlet. | | | | | | | Lifez2short (1404)

| | I cant speak for all laptops but if I just plugged mine into the wall it would work without the battery being charged. | | | | | | | Lifez2short (1404)

| | It does indeed depend on the laptop. Some are able to run without the battery and just plugged in, but I remember others need the batter plugged in as part of the power component. | | | | | | | | | | | | WAREHOUSE Fresh battery Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic, Watch, AA, AAA, C, D, 9v, Lithium WWW.BatteriesAndButter.com | add comment | | | |

| | I think it works that way, even with a Mac. I'm on a Mac, but I don't recall if it did work without a battery the last time I removed it and just kept the power plug/adapter on.. But I do know that with PC laptops, the computers work fine without the battery, just the AC adapter. | | | | | | | | | | Missoula PC Repair Center Virus, Data Recovery, Quick Turnaround 1337 W Broadway 543-8287 www.recomputecomputers.com | add comment | | | |

I am wondering if it's hard on the laptop battery
to leave the laptop on all the time?
| | Didn't even notice it.
I was just working on my laptop when a sudden warning popped up that I had about 12 minutes left in...
