Maybe this is a silly question, but are you able to/do you remove the battery when not in use? Doesn't solve the underlying issue, but you'd at least still have a functional battery.
Well, yeah but then my laptop wouldn't be at all portable any more..
The battery is simple to remove, but it is not without tools and some time.
Gotcha, so it's not the type you can just pop in and out. I was imagining it was like some models you'd find in the 2010s, but if it's all internal, that does make it more difficult.
Yeah, it is very user repairable, but not day to day conveniant to remove
If I was in that situation and there wasn't a real fix, I'd look into seeing if there's space to mod in a physical switch in-line with the battery.
