Yup. After ensuring, though, that the machine can run at full rated speed without a battery installed...something those fruity ones can't do (not that it matters anymore since the battery isn't removable, but anyways, it could very well apply to other vendors, who knows).
ThinkPads actually have a feature that allows you to customize the "don't charge above" and "start charging below" percentages, so that you can keep the battery at say 40-50% indefinitely. This would allow you to leave the battery installed.
