The battery on my MacBook is warped. On one side the plastic seems like it's pulling away this causes it to stick below the case a bit. Is it safe to continue to use? Can I operate it without a battery just plug it in the the electric?
Thanks for any help.
iBook, Mac OS X (10.3.9)
take the battery out asap. You can use it without the battery plugged in if necessary, but definately do not use it with that battery.

There’s one problem with running your MacBook with the battery removed. MacBooks and MacBook Pros automatically reduce the processor speed by about half when the battery is removed.

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.
Or for $129 from The Apple Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Leaving an expanded battery in can cause problems with the trackpad and keyboard, and if it is bad enough it may permanently damage your MacBook. Take it out and replace it.
