It's just very badly calibrated. Old 'Book batteries tend to do that... 
and lithium-ion batteries die away after a couple of years, no matter 
what you do to them...

Try recalibrating it using the instructions *somewhere* on the Apple 
web site... (basically, fully charge battery, then run continuously 
(ie. no sleeping!) until the machine goes to sleep itself.

The power manager might need resetting too...

'Book batteries cost about 100UKP; not sure about Euro prices. Slightly 
cheaper?

SM.
