I am reading here Applying Low Voltage After Every Repair (Retina MacBook 2015 Only) that one should apply a 5V charger to 2015 Macbook Retinas in order to reduce the chance of logic board damage after repairs.
Should this also be done for Macbooks of this model that have the battery removed?

@rmolina I’d do it just to be on the safe side even so I am not certain why you would run it without battery. If you changed the battery you definitely want to do that.

I was actually in the process of changing the battery but it turns out the replacement I was given is nonfunctioning. But while I wait a week or two for the return to be processed and the replacement to arrive, I still want to use it.
I'm nervous about re-using the battery I removed because the removal process seems like it could have easily damaged the battery that was being replaced i.e. all of the inevitable bending and the isopropyl alcohol to help remove the adhesive
@rmolina that makes sense. I'd give it a try or if you can wait for the battery it may be better then having to tear it down again. Either way, I'd go with the low voltage application for sure.
Thanks for the assurance. It seems to be working fine with connecting the 5V charger beforehand.
