Windows 10: Can I use my Gateway laptop without a battery?

HelloI have a GWNR 71517 laptop and just now I noticed that it looked bloated, I opened it up since it is one of those that do not have a removable battery and removed the bloated one, I figured that while I don't get a replacement I will use it plugged in but now it does not turn on though there are some lights on next to the AC plug.Did I miss a step? or are these kinds of laptops not useable without a battery?Thanks
