I was wondering about some way to replace the battery pack, since HWMonitor is telling me my pack is at a wear rate now of 41%. This laptop isn't quite at retirement age yet, although my WASD keys have worn to the point where S and D are just smears. Maybe it is time to look for a replacement.

Hi, so I have an old G752VT that I took apart last February and haven't used since moving to desktop. I pulled out the battery on it before since it's been reporting lower and lower "max" capacity over the years and I was wondering if it was possible for this laptop to run without a battery on it (just plugged in via charger).

It's not difficult to replace the battery, Someone made the comment you'll damage the charging circuit on the motherboard, He's right and it won't perform properly either, I had another G751 that someone gave me to tinker with, and I ran it without a battery, It would lock up, shut down unexpectedly,
and JDPWS (Just Do Plain Wacky Sh*t!)

They're not expensive either, it's a Zero Insertion force connector if I'm not mistaken I'm currently waiting on a replacement,
