I respectfully disagree!

The battery pack on the laptop is the perfect Uninterruptable Power Supply
to save the data on the hard disk from corruption or self destruction if it
is writing to disk WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT!

You never need to plug a laptop into a UPS like the office PC SHOULD be
plugged into because its battery pack is online to run it on any power
failure or brownout condition.

This feature is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than "saving the battery", no matter
what!

Anyone having to start from scratch with a trashed hard drive you can't
even boot from will wholeheartedly agree....LEAVE THE BATTERY IN IT!
