is it time for a new battery

[bijiben]

lately, my laptop battery has been seeming to have a short life when it's not plugged in. this was very sudden, because before i was able to use it unplugged for at least an hour. now when i unplug, it says the batter life is low, but sometimes it really isn't cuz it won't go out for another long while. and right now, being plugged in, it says "1% charging." is it time for a new battery from LINK REMOVED - Someone Somewhere? is there something i can do to boost the power back up? thanks in advance!

I've removed the link in your post, because it seemed like it was possibly an attempt at marketing/astroturfing.

Batteries do have a tendency to fail over a couple of years, which speeds up with use. Depending on how old your laptop is, it might be time.

There's generally not a lot you can do to repair a battery.
