[dba-Tech] Laptop Overheating

The only thing that I have heard bad about doing this is that the battery
contacts could oxidize.

Given that 89% of the time, the laptop is running off direct juice rather
than battery, should I remove the battery save only those few occasions when
I need it? Will the power still work from the wire if the battery is absent?

I think that in the year I've owned this machine, I actually depended on its
battery for about an hour.
