First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

You just rated a post of mine that was over a year old as inaccurate when the advice was indeed accurate. You also gave kudos to a post in the same thread (also of the same vintage) that advocated manually replacing a laptop screen. I don't know of anyone who would advise D-I-Y replacement of a laptop screen. First, because screens are specifically manufactured for a specific model or model line. Manufacturers are unlikely to sell spare screen to individuals, only to repair people. Second, I would only trust a knowledgeable tech to replace a laptop screen.
Before you criticize or compliment people's advice, it would help if you knew what you were talking about.
As to your question here. The answer is yes. A laptop will operate fine without the battery in place. In fact, many stores take the batteries out of display models to prevent theft. Its also true, that while the battery is installed, even on AC power, there is still some charging and drain on the battery. And this does tend to shorten its life. But That shortening is, in my opinion, not worth the inconvenience of removing and installing the battery unless you rarely use it on battery.
