HP OmniBook XE3 battery

My 9-cell Li-Ion laptop battery is supposed to provide about 4 hours of life, and recharge in about 2 hours with the system off. It did this for a month or two when it was new, but it rapidly dropped off to about 1 hour of life, and I just noticed that the battery meter reads 100% after under an hour, even with the laptop turned on.
Is the battery just crap, or is there a way to fix this? Or is it a problem with the laptop itself, not charging the battery fully?
