laptop battery problems.

I had this new laptop for Christmas and the last couple of days the charge hasn't been lasting very long.
Now i've plugged it in and it's staying on the same % but yet it says it's charging in the corner.
i've tryed swapping plug sockets etc and took the battery out for a bit but it hasn't worked.
Mom said she will take it back if it's the same tomorrow,
but i was just wondering if anyone knew before my mom goes through all that hastle..

Thanks,
Helps appreciated :)

Sounds like the battery is failing or the laptop isn't charging the battery, if it is the battery, you'll notice an improvement straight away with a different one else your recharge circuit on your laptop will need looking at :)
