My old ideapad 100-15IBY laptop is installed in the closet, there is
no ventilation.  It runs Ubuntu server, Torrserver, Jacket and
OpenVPN.  When streaming 4K HDR content, the processor temperature
does not rise above 60 Celsius.  But I'm worried about the battery
since the laptop is connected to a 220 network and works 24/7.  Should
I?  If so, how can I disconnect the battery, preferably in software…
without disassembling the case?

You can just open the bottom of the laptop and remove the battery
connector cable if it worries you to much

You cannot disconnect the battery via software, there's no relay to
control the connection. You can absolutely disconnect it physically
though - is there any particular reason why you do not wish to open
the case? Computers should be cleaned from time to time anyway, so you
can catch two birds with one stone.

I would open it and pull out the battery connector
