STRIX G BIOS Update Error - EZ Flash Battery Less than 20%

I need some help ROG people! Essentially my issue is that the connection from my battery to my motherboard on my ASUS ROG STRIX G laptop is broken, and I cannot afford to replace the motherboard at this time. The laptop works when connected to the wall with power adapter, but in order to update BIOS the laptop needs battery power, and whenever I turn on the laptop I receive the error noted in the title "EZ Flash ERROR, Battery Less than 20%". Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to bypass this or how I can update the BIOS. I tried downloading the BIOS update and putting it on a USB, and I have also tried the typing in "risky" when I receive the error, but neither have worked thus far. Please help.

I have the same problem. It's unfortunate that these developers lock us out of our machines and essentially break our laptops. Not being able to update the bios is causing all sorts of problems since I had to reset it to factory default.
Nothing works to get around it.
