You can damage the calculator by powering it up with the ac charger, even if there is a battery pack installed. If the battery pack is spent, as the seller readily admits, then its resistance can increase significantly to the point that it effectively acts like an open circuit. This is no different than powering the calc from the charger with the battery pack removed, which is the condition that results in damage to the calc electronics. Also, corrosion on the contacts can result in high resistance as well.
