Have a Dell laptop which is roughly 4 years old. Year or so ago the battery stopped holding it's charge. Now use it with the mains adaptor plugged in.
Today noticed the area near the cursor touchpad is very hot. Underneath that area is where the battery is located. The battery is very hot. Have removed it.
I take it the battery is kaput?
Can the laptop be used without the battery in place?
Where is the best place to get a replacement battery from?
Thanks in advance for any replies

The laptop can be used with ac power only the battery will only need replacing if you require your laptop to be mobile at which point dell would be a good place to look for the battery part number you require to try and find the cheapest.0
