 I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 with a dead battery. I would like opinions as to wheather to leave it in
or take it out. If I leave it in is it going to stress the charger? I'm sure if I take it out dust
and crud will collect in the contacts.

If I could get a non-battery cover to keep dust and corosion out of the battery port it would be a
no-brainer, but since i've never seen anything like that - - - ?

Open your dead battery and gut out it's electronic components leaving out
only the battery case shell that you then put back together and you'll have
a perfect "non" battery cover. Make sure you dispose of the dead battery
components safely.

That what I did for my Thinkpad.

Open your dead battery and gut out it's electronic components leaving out
only the battery case shell that you then put back together and you'll have
a perfect "non" battery cover.  Make sure you dispose of the dead battery
components safely.

Be very VERY careful. If you damage the cells, they are still capable of
burning your house down.

I'd leave it in. If it's dead, I don't think that it does charge.
