BATERIES have a finite number of charge-discharge... I understand that 500
is the absolute limit and that most do  not live thru that many.
I always worked plugged in when possible. So my 2 TiBook batteries are both
very long lived when I have to use them as they are infrequently discharged.

 Time to buy yourself a new battery.
