макбук 13" вы можете включить без батареи, макбук 15" - не включится. актуально для моделей до 2017 года, дальше не пробовал.
MacBook 13" you can turn on without a battery, MacBook 15" - will not turn on. relevant for models before 2017, I haven't tried it further.

oh, thank you for the answer. I don't understand the Russian, so I'm using translator. your answer is, MacBook 13 inches working without battery but 15 inches not working?
Then it make sense... mine is 15inch...Macbook pro..
so then, there are no solution except buy new battery ? 🥲

о, спасибо за ответ. Я не понимаю русский, поэтому использую переводчик. Ваш ответ: MacBook 13 дюймов работает без батареи, а 15 дюймов не работает?
Тогда это имеет смысл... у меня 15 дюймов... Macbook pro..
то есть, нет решения, кроме как купить новую батарею? 🥲
No. You can use an old battery for copying. Your fear that the battery will explode is incorrect. A battery has a chance of exploding when fully charged, but it is impossible when discharged. I have several batteries that I use in a powerbank for my MacBook. They were inflated, but I carefully pierced them with a needle, let the volume out, and taped the hole with duct tape. The batteries have been working fine for 3 years now.
I'm not recommending you repeat my experience, but just to show you that macbook batteries are relatively safe and for short-term data copying you can turn on your battery. Or you can replace the battery with a new one and do everything without any problems. I don't recommend buying new Chinese ones - often macbook doesn't understand them. I buy on ebay good used , they are often sold together with palmrest.

@x7xwlx4ejne902x - Sounds like you were a bit too quick on removing the battery. While I do understand the concern, unless the battery was badly blisteringly out with gas the risk of a fire is not that likely if you don’t discharge fully or push the system hard.
I think there maybe some confusion in your question as you selected the 13” system if that is not correct and you have a 15” system the battery is a different part and the procedure is slightly different. I’ve posted both guides below.
There is two directions one can take here, the first is replacing the battery and salvage your data from the system if you are planning on getting a new system (another Mac). To cover the cost of the battery you could sell your system as this is still a decent system for many. Here’s the guide with the parts info MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Battery Replacement and for the other MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2015 Battery Replacement.
The second option is getting a special case to hold your systems SSD drive which you can connect to your new system and once the data is off loaded reformatted and setup as a backup drive. Here’s one source for the needed case External SSD Enclosure for Select Mid 2013 to Mid 2015 Macs OWC also makes the needed case as well. Apple drives are not M.2 drives so make sure you get the correct case.

Can you point to the video you followed so we understand what happened.
But why do you want to run the system without its battery?

Ah I can not take a video right now, but let me explain. I follow the YouTube which recommend press the main power button during the 15 seconds without connecting charger. and after that connect the charger and try to turn on, its work in that video.
but I tried following that steps, but my MacBook doesn't work.
And the reason why I want to try to run the system without the battery because my battery getting expended and I am afraid the explosion that's why I removed the battery first. And I forgot to move my data from the Mac. i'm thinking about buying a new battery but honestly, I think I'm not using this MacBook anymore. That's why I'm trying to turn it on with out the battery.
