Check the power settings on your laptop. Some of the newer ones will allow you to configure how much current should go to battery when plugged in, it might be possible to turn off charging completely.
These options are specifically for using airplane power as normal operation will not consume more then 20-25 watts of power.
With some setting tweaks you might be able to keep the power from going off.
