> I recommend everyone to remove the battery before using it plugged 24x7

I agree but not all laptops can run without battery being plugged in. I use a Acer E5 575 as a home-lab and it can’t run without battery being plugged in, but interestingly the laptop has decided to bypass the battery completely after it died. Operating Systems detect no battery but its there and without it the laptop won’t boot.

There would be some sort of internal ‘switch’ that can be bypassed I believe
