Plugged in but not charging [Laptop]

Alright guys, so I have a Samsung notebook. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a "plugged in but not charging" after my laptop wouldn't stay on without being plugged into the charger. I'm currently at 8%, and it'll continue decreasing. My question for anyone who's dealt with this is, once it hits 0% will the laptop not turn on, and completely stop working? I've looked into the issue, although I have windows 8, I've tried the method to fix the device manager and it didn't work so I'm assuming my laptop battery is shot, I just have to order a new battery. I think there about $15 via. amazon. Any help would be useful, thanks!
Your laptop battery is dead. Your computer will fail to work without it being plugged in for long.

I keep it completely plugged in, as-is, if it's not plugged in it won't work.

My question is once it reaches 0% will it not work at all (even when plugged in) I just don't know how long the battery shipping will be.

It will. Laptops will operate without a battery, I dropped mine in water and went without one plugged in for like a month while I decided whether or not to go and get one.
Your battery is dead.

Remove your battery, plug your laptop in and boot it up.
If it runs, then it'll still work when it's at 0%.

You do need a new battery though.
Your battery is dead my friend. Get a new one.

Yea I'll attempt that tomorrow, It's a "slimmer" notebook so I gotta unscrew the bottom piece in-order to reach the battery. Thanks for the feedback.
