Nope.

You tried to rebut his comment about the irrelevance of non-Apple 
hardware to this particular Mac group with the fact that "THREE 
newsgroups ARE involved"...

...but they are ALL Mac newsgroups, you twit.

You didn't ask whether it would run slower without a battery or why it

Is that the same on non-Apple hardware?

>Exactly why *I* asked nospam.

this is, indeed, a real issue.  Sometimes...

The power draw as the drive starts spinning up might easily
be more than the transformer can provide.

For argument's sake, let's just say the wall wart can
provide 50 watts. The basic draw of the unit might 
be 35. Call it 45 when charging the battery.

However, when the drives start up (and other items
with initial surges, too), they might be trying to
get 100 watts.  Yeah, only for a couple of seconds,
or maybe just a fraction of one, but that's more
than the power cord will have at hand.

The battery provides those extra electrons...

yep.

the original mac portable (and probably the powerbook 100 which was a
shrunken down version) would not run *at* *all* without a battery.
