(Nano 5th gen) Is it possible to cut the battery ribbon and just use it plugged in?

I have just purchased the nano 5th generation, very nice condition, minimal wear etc. It doesnt have a spot of death but it dies quickly (while the screen is turned on it dies within 3 minutes but works well with screen turned off (could it be other damage?)). if its a cooked battery, could i open it up, cut the battery wires and remove it completely, and just use it plugged in, or can remove it and just wait until i get a soldering iron?

Descided to fix my classic, idk who thought it would be such a great idea to apply so much glue to frame, pulled so hard the heatsink bent (managed to put it back in place), mobo came flying from my desk onto the carpet (probably saved it as its not reassembled yet) and the vol down ribbon broke comletely off. Am i gtg wuth this bent heatsink or not really, are there any more damages? Edit: its eighter the mobo or screen is cooked, it turns on but nothing shows us on the screen, speakers dont have sound and the keyboard doesnt light up, only thing that gives some life is the notification light and the trackball lighting up (only visible on camera)
