What if the battery is soldered in place like many machines produced post 2014?

I haven’t seen soldered batteries. You must be thinking of ram. Batteries could be hidden behind the bottom plate but are usually connected by a cable internally and that’s all you need to disconnect. That’s true even for macbooks, iPhones, etc.
If you can not remove it (or let it remove by a professional), do not use it for that purpose.
You can leave the battery in, but remove the connection to motherboard.
Check the UEFI and disable it there.
