My battery is damaged. I already ordered but it will take 3 days. I am planning to temporarily remove the battery and use it plugged in. Is this okay? Or it is high risk?

    Using your Predator Helios 300 plugged in will not cause any damage but all you will lose all activity that you have if you unplug the laptop like web pages and any applications that need the battery as a backup. But it won't damage your laptop.

    You can try if it boots. Series Wiring: Some laptops use a battery-in-series configuration, meaning the adapter power flows through the battery before reaching the system. Power Interruption: If the battery is removed or dead, the laptop won’t receive power, even if plugged in. BIOS Dependency: Some models check for a battery at startup, and if it’s missing, they may refuse to boot.

    Yes, you can typically use your Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-53 to play games even with the battery removed, as long as it is connected to a power source. Most modern laptops, including gaming models, are designed to run directly from the AC power supply when plugged in, regardless of whether the battery is installed. Here's why:

    • Power Source:The laptop will primarily draw power from the AC adapter when plugged in, bypassing the battery entirely. 
    • Battery Life:Running on AC power is generally better for the battery's long-term health, as it reduces the number of charging cycles. 
    • Performance:Some users may experience improved performance, especially during gaming, as the CPU may not be as prone to throttling when running directly from the power supply. 
    • Battery Issues:If you suspect a battery problem, removing it can help diagnose if the issue is related to the battery itself. 
    • Warranty:It's worth noting that removing the battery might void the warranty, so check your warranty terms before removing it.
