It works good on battery but when AC adaptor is plug in the laptop cuts out and restart by itself.

Problem description: The laptop shuts off when AC power adapter is plugged in. The laptop works fine on battery power but as soon as you connect it to AC adapter, the laptop turns off.
Possible cause: 1. Power adapter failure.
2. Motherboard failure.
Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution: First of all, test the power adapter. Make sure the adapter outputs correct voltage. It's possible that the output voltage is not correct and the laptop shuts down to prevent the damage. Test your laptop with another known good power adapter.
Toshiba Satellite A305 AC Adapter
If the problem still exists, even after replacing the adapter, most likely it's the motherboard failure. Replace the motherboard.

How do i charge the battery? also will it hurt

You must have got an AC adapter *** charger with the laptop. Plug in to your laptop and the other side to the wall on your power socket.

Yes you can leave the battery with the laptop. That is the way it is meant to be in each and every laptop. Some take 220v some 120v according to different geographical locations.
