Over-time, batteries will loose their ablilty to hold a charge. this can also happen if you leave it plugged in for long periods of time (known as over-charging)
only solution is to get a new battery.
Sounds like your battery is a bit faulty, but in saying that, an hour is well... sorta average... depending on what ya doing etc... Check out this link and see if that helps.

Batteries are real swines of things, they react well to constant cycles, but hate hap-hazard charging, also, they pack up what seems real quick. If ya financial ya may like to try a brand new battery. Then make sure ya cycle the battery and set the ACPI setting correctly.
The older a battery gets, the shorter it will hold a charge.
Battery life is maximum 3 years.
