I don't think that is correct.  Having a battery does not prevent it
from knowing the state of the power connection.
Check in the BIOS to see if there is a setting to start on power up.
If not then Wake On LAN may be the solution.  In fact you may well be
able to use WOL and not have to power cycle at all.
