Default Time for a new battery?

Hi! How's it going? Anyway, to the question. I have a laptop, the laptop has a battery, the battery is playing games with me. How do I beat the battery? I've tried one method of resetting the battery, it didn't work. I get about 15 minutes out of the battery. Are there other methods to reset the battery or is it time to go and get a new one? By the way, the notebook is one of those gigantic desktop replacements. It's a HP Compaq NX9010.

Howdy Guillaume,
Ya it seems your battery is loosing its charge capabilities. I would get a new one, and charge for for 24 to 48 hours before even using it. This way the charge always stays good and long. And with a desktop replacement Laptop you are not going to get much time out of them as it is.

I realize I'm not going to get the greatest time out of them, but 15 minutes is just rediculous.
