I'm in a bit of a bind and have a question about my laptop's internal battery. It has swollen, and I'm worried about it possibly exploding, but I can't afford to replace it right now. If I remove the internal battery, will my laptop still work when plugged into the AC adapter? This laptop is my only one, and I've been trying to find a cheaper replacement for the battery but haven't had any luck. I understand that external batteries are easy to remove, but I'm unsure how internal batteries operate in this situation.

Definitely, you can remove the battery and use the laptop plugged in. I've done that several times while waiting for replacements. No worries about it not turning on without the battery. Just take care to properly disconnect it!
Most laptops will work just fine with the AC adapter even if the internal battery is removed. Some gaming laptops might limit performance, but others should run without issues. Just make sure you check the specifics for your model before doing it.
You might have a bit of a mixed bag depending on the laptop model, but generally, disconnecting the internal battery should be fine. Just be super careful not to damage any components inside!
Laptops like the Dell Latitude are designed to work with the power adapter alone, and many office models don't rely on batteries at all. Just be cautious when you disconnect your battery!
