If you are plugging it to an UPS or something else that won't cause you
dataloss should crap happen on the wires, yes.

Every non-ancient ThinkPad works fine without a battery, AFAIK.  But I'd
still rather use a screwed-up 5s-of-charge-only old battery than run the
laptop without any secondary power source it can count on.
