Well I had a reduced battery life of my laptop for last few days. But now the laptop is on but it is not getting charged. It shows 24% battery for last two days. Please give me some solution to this problem. Will I have to replace the battery of my laptop?

Yeah it might be a good idea to change. Also keep in mind that not letting your battery fully die before recharging is reducing your battery life.

I think you will have to replace your laptop battery because his is the sight of battery is running out of life. My laptop battery ever happened the same problem before, when i bring to the nearby computer shop and ask the technician, he said it's time to replace my laptop battery. After i replace my laptop battery, it works fine like usual, just need to charge one time and can use my laptop for nearly 12 hours, without connecting it to the main socket. Hope your laptop battery problem will solved soon after you had changed the battery.
