My Acer Aspire V5 573G has a damaged battery pack. I am unable to get a replacement and was wondering if it is possible to remove the battery and run it only on the AC power cable. The battery need to be taken out if I want to continue using the laptop("battery look like it is about to pop").

    Thank for you for the help. 
    I removed the battery as advised, but the laptop would not power up without the battery battery plugged into the main board connector.
    Is it possible to bypass the connector (through the settings or rewiring the battery connector)?

    Sorry, not recommended. Google 'v5-573G' 'battery' for possible battery vendors convenient to your location. Aliexpress should deliver to your region and has the V5-573 series battery in stock. May take several weeks to deliver. Jack E/NJ

    Some models will run fine without a battery. It does not hurt anything to try running it on the charger alone without the battery. Remove any cover cards on the right hand side by pushing them in---they should pop out. Then remove 17 screws from the bottom cover. Pry the cover off  starting near the hinges. Unplug the battery pack from the mainboard. Then one screw and lift the battery out. Jack E/NJ
