Use without battery?

Hello,
After a night without use, my computer will not start without first being plugged into a power outlet.
I read on the forum that this is a sign of battery fatigue.
So:

  • Can the 13th generation Intel laptop be used without a battery?
  • If so, is it better to remove the battery now or wait until it dies?
  • Is there anything specific I need to do to be able to use it without a battery?
    Thank you.

Can you $ upower -i $(upower -e | grep battery) while plugged in and with battery installed, to help identifying the battery issue?

Thank you both. I will ask my son how to answer your question, Charlie_6, because I don’t have the expertise, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I’m learning a lot :slight_smile:
Firstly, that there is a command prompt and how to use it.
Secondly, that Charlie_6’s language doesn’t work on my computer.
And finally, that powercfg /batteryreport works for me.
So here’s the report, if I manage to attach it (fingers crossed)…
And no, I can’t figure out how to post the report here…
Is it possible to attach a file here, please?

After my son read it, the report says that the battery has 45,907/55,009 mWh, which is what it had at the beginning.
So it has lost 16% in 3 years.
So it is not yet at the end of its life.
So maybe it’s just the rechargeable RTC battery that is no longer acting as a starter.
I don’t mind plugging in my PC in the morning so it can start up, I was just worried about whether it could function without the main battery.
Question: can the computer function without the RTC battery?

I find some here Finally broke my RTC battery holder (11th Gen Intel) and here RTC Battery holder broke off
Thank you

Is it practical to charge the RTC battery using a bench power supply?

I don’t know how to do that Charlie_6, so I’ll buy another RTC battery, but I don’t like the idea of polluting
