Using Stadia Controller with battery removed

I have been using the Stadia controller plugged into my PC. Since I will always have it plugged in, I removed the battery from the controller so it will not be constantly charging, essentially making it a wired controller. The only problem is, when I turn on the controller without the battery, it works perfectly fine for about 10 seconds, then turns off. Windows 11 instantly recognizes the controller and it seems to retain all functionality, even the rumble. I cannot get the controller to stay on, even with constant controller input. Has anyone ever tried this, or figured out how to make it work?
