Hi. I have a 2017 Inspiron 15 7000 Series 7579 laptop. If I don't replace my failed battery and just use the laptop plugged in all the time will that damage the laptop? Can I get away with not replacing the battery? Thank you!
It won't damage the system, but on some newer Dell systems, the battery is required for the system to run at full performance. If yours has this Dell hybrid power setup, without a working battery you may see reduced performance. I don't know if this is applicable to your specific model (more likely than not it is not), but it is applicable to many of the newer "gaming" systems including the G-series and many newer Alienware models, along with some of the newer XPS models.
