Windows 10: Laptop battery switching between plugged in and battery while playing games.

My laptop has recently been acting up and started switching between plugged in and on battery when playing a heavy game like Roblox. This has been very irritating because the fps constantly decreases each time it stops charging. Even when the laptop sometimes manages to charge without stopping, the fps has been way lower than normal. Back then, I would get 120fps and now, I only get 50fps. Is this a problem with my hardware or is it just some sort of operating system problem? I really need to fix this because I can't just continue playing Roblox Jailbreak at 50fps. I'm willing to replace my

Will leaving a laptop plugged in kill the battery?

I have a laptop (Compaq/HP Pesario C500) and I am running WCG on it. The battery can drain quite quickly, so I would like to leave it plugged in so it can crunch while I'm not there to attend to it. I was wondering if leaving it plugged in would kill the battery? Deminish it's ability to hold a charge? Maybe even cause problems like fire like the sony batteries did?
