GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 3 Graphics
Ram: 4 GB
OS: Windows 10 Home

I just bought this laptop yesterday and I was under the impression that when it said that the battery was removable, it means that its easily accessible and removable from the bottom cover with just a small lock mechanism just like my old acer laptop of five years. Much to my dismay, this one requires taking out all the screws and pry off the entire bottom cover to get to the battery inside (I have a video source). My reason for this inquiry is that I mainly use my laptop via AC power and very rarely on battery so I was hoping to know if I do attempt to remove the battery this way; a) will it void warranty? b) will the laptop still work? c) is there any way for me to use this laptop on AC power and not on battery? Many thanks.

Good night tequilainateacup !

First, the current lithium batteries do not suffer from the old vice effect (or memory effect).

As for the use directly connected to the outlet, this is the ideal procedure.

The architecture of the laptops is different from the desktop architecture.
Both the processor and the GPU only achieve maximum performance when the device is configured for high-performance Windows power options and plugged into an electrical outlet.

In addition, the battery has other important functions, such as exercising an extra physical layer of surges and voltages, and help filter and regulate noise in the power grid.
The internal power controllers inside the Bios and the drivers are designed and configured so that the system works properly with the battery.

For this reason, you should never use a laptop without a battery.
