If you have a laptop/netbook which has a dead battery, so have it plugged in, should you take out the battery and just have an empty space there?
The only reason I ask is I have just seen this on a Thinkpad forum, Do bear in mind that running a machine with a dead battery will eventually blow the charging circuit.

yes! from my own experiences, I have a laptop with a dead battery, my machine would not power on at all. even plugged in. so I removed the battery, had the gap underneath. It works fine, albeit requires to be plugged in to work. My laptop is a HP by the way. I have had a bad experience with charging a dead lithium ion battery on a phone, and I believe lithium ion cells are used in laptop batteries.0
