Ok, my laptop is always plugged into because I use it as a desktop replacement, recentley the power cuts off and it switches to battery power. When I unplug it from the back of the laptop and plug it back in it fixes it for a couple minutes. The longer I use it the shorter amount of time it works until it doesnt work at all. Also the metal piece that plugs into the laptop gets hot. What I need to know is if its a problem with the charger or battery.

well,
i have recently kind of had a problem with that
it depends on how long you have had the battery in there
if you have never taken it out and you have had it for about a year almost always plugged in then you have to buy a new battery because even when it is plugged in it still tries to use battery power and wears out the battery

Some planned obsolescence batteries have to run down all the way before you recharge them or they will do that. I don't know if you can save it. Maybe you can get a free exchange. Batteries made that way are a rip off and I don't think you should have to pay. Let the greedy ones pay.

The problem is most likely with the battery but you should get them both checked out really.
Some batteries do not liketo be continually on charge.
