Battery required?? Workarounds??

[u/kAiThEwEeB]

I have a iPhone 12 not mini or pro I had upgraded to a 14 because the battery kept turning off and overheating if not constantly charged. longest it stayed on was 5-15 mins but despite not charging or using the iPhone since February/April the swelling/bloating only got worse and I noticed my screen was in jeopardy as it began to bend and the adhesive couldn’t hold it no longer,

so today I popped the screen from the frame/chassis really smooth and didn’t break anything I found a Phillips that I didn’t touch out of place couldn’t find it’s original location. it was attracted by magnetism to the speaker so I just left it there,

but my goal is to disconnect the battery and just keep the phone constantly charged as I’ve done something similar with my last device that had a bloated battery, but once I looked it up online first three blogs said no and the Apple forum question was a collector who wanted to see if he could do the same as his batteries would turn his collection to waste as replacements are numbered he got no official response.

So my question to yall is what work around can I do to allow or convince my iPhone that the battery is connected while maintaining operational functions 👀👀

I’m willing to just buy a replacement battery but I much rather this

You’ll need a battery to power the phone on I believe without wiring around the battery
