is it safe using my laptop while charging?

[Rama Subramanian]

"i use my laptop daily. but the heat and charging the laptop often irritates me. i would work in the same place and never take my laptop from that place. SO MY QUESTION IS " CAN I USE MY LAPTOP WITH BATTERY REMOVED AND USING ONLY THE AC CURRENT, IS IT SAFE OR WILL IT AFFECT MY LAPTOP?

it will not affect your laptop. But you will lose advantage of not powering off in case of electricity shortage. Also, when you battery is full, your laptop stop pumping energy into your battery.

While plugged, your laptop get its energy only from your power pack. It does not use the battery energy. So getting your battery out will not solve your heating problem.

Apparently, it's perfectly safe, and even recommended for that situation, according to this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/Can-I-use-the-laptop-without-the-battery/td-p/1208391

Edit: I agree with pierrerock about the heat. The battery isn't the only source of heat in a laptop. There's also the cpu and hdd to consider, and removing the battery pack won't change those.

Yes, it's safe. In fact, if you regularly use your laptop stationary and plugged in for long periods of time, it's better for the battery if, once it's charged, you remove it. Just make sure that you're using the appropriate power supply/adapter. If you never unplug your laptop, every once in a while you should exercise the battery (discharge, recharge).
