It sounds like the battery is shot. Many batteries do better if they're not kept on charge all the time.
Unfortunately, the only solutions are to 1) only use it while plugged in or 2) get a new battery.
Unfortunately, batteries aren't cheap. You can get an estimate by checking the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.

It sounds like your older notebook computer has a dying or dead battery. Search eBay for an inexpensive replacement battery for your specific machine.
But, first ask someone you trust and who is knowledgeable look at it for you. Sorry, I don't live in the Birmingham area. Hope this helps.

Is it a laptop? If so then your adapter cord may be bad and you may have to get a new one.
