The charger voltage never exceed battery voltage for lithium battery under load condition. Lithium battery can not accept even 5% over voltage. So when charger is connected to laptop / mobile (without battery), due to loading by laptop / mobile, the voltage is maintained at battery level. Hence no damage can be caused. I am using my laptop, without battery for last 2 years. Best Regards, Mukund Deshmukh.
