If my laptop battery is not completely dead, can I still hook up the charger to it without it harming the battery?

Laptop batteries, which are now Lithium Ion, are not the same as the old Nickel Cadmium batteries of past generations.
The old Ni-Cad batteries did have to be discharged periodically to remove the "memory" from the battery.
There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging it.
Lithium Ion batteries actually last longer if you keep them topped off, as fully discharging them can shorten the life.
Just plug the laptop in when you are near and outlet, and leave it plugged in even if it is fully charged. New laptops automatically shut off the charging voltage to the battery once it senses the battery is fully charged. So there is no risk of overcharging the battery.
Leaving it plugged in will not harm the computer or the battery.

Laptop batteries(drum kits) tend to live during approximately 3 years with a use of routine. After a few years, you could find that your laptop computer works only during 15 or 20 minutes on a load(responsibility), when you cannot obtain through a plenary session without having to connect in your laptop computer, it's time to buy a battery(drum kit) of replacement. But if your battery(drum kit) does not reload correctly and what you were not to use him(it) for the best part(party) of a President's term, you could want to try a little of repair at first to see if the problem does not live(lie) somewhere else.

No problem, you can use the charger without the battery.

Yeah, that's fine. You shouldn't leave it plugged in all the time and you should also not let it run completely down a lot.
