Depending on the laptop the battery can be many things, a lot of laptops have built in surge suppression so you cannot run the laptop on AC power without a battery also. Some laptops are the opposite, and can run without a battery and run purely on AC power alone.
But if you are questioning whether different operating systems require a battery then the answer is no, it would be the type of laptop you own. Many operating systems can either drain or keep your battery charge more efficiently. Windows 7 is much better then Windows Vista, but Mac OSx seems to be up there with Unix/Linux as far as excellent battery life. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
