Battery shot?

My laptop is only 18 months old and I rarely use it on battery, although I did extensively for two weeks about six months ago.

I unplugged it today and the battery charge indicator said there was a 97% charge remaining. 15 minutes later, I got the signal that I should plug it in because the battery was almost dead.

Does that make sense? What is the normal life-span for a lap-top battery? And is there anything one can do to prolong battery life?

Thanks!

LA
