Laptop with no battery [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Laptop w/o battery US bound flight?
3 answers
I am traveling from the US to the UK and then to Portugal. Round trip. I have a laptop without a battery, so I am hesitant to bring it as carry-on in the plane because I had troubles already with a laptop not turning on through security.
Is there any problem with sending the laptop in the checked-in luggage? If they open my luggage and they find it, would that be a problem? Could they take it away?

The battery was damaged. I had to remove it. I ordered a battery online but I didn't get it on time for my upcoming trip.

You will definitely not be creating any danger by putting the notebook computer in the checked luggage, sans battery. Whether that breaks any rules I will let others answer. Do not bring the bad battery at all.

You should be allowed to plug it in, if seeing it on is demanded (very unlikely), though you (and fellow passengers) might not have a suitable plug. If damaged while in the hold it is unlikely any airline will accept responsibility. Take it away is extremely unlikely. I used to travel without a battery al the time (just t save weight) and never had an issue carrying it on.

There is no issue with traveling with a laptop without a battery. Just plug it in if you are asked to demonstrate that it is really working and it isn't a fake laptop. If I were you, I'd rather travel with it as a carry-on luggage to keep it with me. It is certainly safer. And if they have trouble with that, you can check it in as a fallback.

My only problem is that last time through security they didn't just let me plug it in and show that it worked. I had the battery at the time and I had to go outside, charge the battery up, and go through security again

I'd suggest you to take a busy lane. Then they will probably take less time to check these kind of things...

@Ollelo that's not a bad idea. I was unlucky last time because I got selected for random extra security... Which meant I had to go through every control possible
