    Hi everyone. I was curious whether is it possible to remove or insert the sheet battery when the computer is hibernated. Will that harm the computer in any way?

    When the computer is truly in hibernation mode (as opposed to in sleep mode) ALL power is off. So it is ok to remove the main battery. (Not sure what you mean by "sheet battery".)

    Thanks for the answers. I guess it seems to be OK to do this in hibernation.

    Actually I had another question. When the sheet battery is inserted, then in the stamina mode the laptop consumes initially from the sheet battery, which is what I want. However, in speed mode it consumes from the primary battery first. It there a way to change that and make it initially consume from the sheet battery also in speed mode?
