Yes - use a dud battery! Or one that's on its way out - then you have a built-in UPS.

The following is copied for the above site:
"NOTE: If you mainly use your ThinkPad as a desktop replacement, your battery will have a constant charge of 100%. This will negatively affect the performance of your battery. It would be better to use battery power or to remove the battery from your system while using mains power."
Question: Does anyone make a plug to fit in the Battery Bay to protect it from dust, cookie crumbs, etc. while the battery is
removed? Any suggestions?
TIA ... John
