Is there a website link where I can get a replacement battery for ASUS Q534 UXK ? Model year 2016.

Can this laptop be used without a battery?

Thomas, yes. I found that out by mistake when I didn’t fully connect/lock the new cable and had to go back in and reconnect it. Worked as usual on AC power.

mmedina - thanks for the step by step. Worked like a champ for me.
