Wow

how stupid am I ! I know with plenty of devices over the years that you can run something on the mains without a battery yet there I was assuming that the battery was part of a circuit and therefore couldn't be removed, seems logical now.

I looked Google and it seems that removing the battery could stop the shocks because an overcharged battery creates discharge, I've been touching where I normally get a shock and nothing

Thanks for all your replies and a big thanks to Dale

@doodlebug

You're welcome matey. I have the same issue with a Toshiba netbook. No battery = no grief, once the battery is past its sell-by date. Also stops the heat build-up.
