bypass battery and run directly using charger

[gyandoo]

I've used this phone for a very long time now, since 2018

My current use case is using it as a hotspot and running some server and torrent apps on the phone, it works well, 24x7, connected to the charger all the time.

There are times when the battery does not charge for some reason and the phone needs to be restarted after the battery fully drains, especially when dowloading torrents.

I remember an older phone I had long ago, Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus, it used to work without the battery connected, directly connected to the charger.

I have a inverter in place so I don't really need the battery in the phone for my use case, I would like to use the phone like a computer connected to the charger 24x7, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Nokia 6.1 plus would work this way i.e without the battery connected?

I would like to save myself the trouble of opening it and disconnecting the battery just to find out.

Thanks.

So, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery...

and...

It does not boot up without the battery connected with the phone connected to the charger.

Probably a jumper is required, anyone know how?

So, I visited a mobile repair technician, and

He tried direct soldering to the battery connector port, which didnt work

He removed the strip from the battery and connected the charging port to it and it didnt work

He finally, put it all ack together and removed the IC on the charging board, that controls the battery charging, now the battery is always charged at 100%

Just thought I'd share with the community

Ps- What he didn't try was a using a diode, but he said that wouldn't work either
