Laptop battery failed

The battery finally gave out and my laptop now must be plugged in 24/7. On the charge bar it says 73% but I have noticed it has been slowly decreasing, maybe 1% a day, when its plugged in.

Usually you can remove the laptop battery and it will work of mains power alone, so I'd assume it'll be fine when it dies completely.

The only annoying thing is, if there is no battery life, any time the lead falls out or gets disconnected the laptop will turn straight off
