Malaina, Then, here is another thing that you are able to try that will help determine whether or not your friend needs a battery replacement. Once you see your friend, you will want to go to the options menu, by pressing space with o; go to support information mode, by pressing space with i; then hit the letter i. This will tell you the battery cycle count. If it is getting pretty close to 300 or pass 300, then it is time for a battery replacement, but if it is in the high 100's and low 200's, it is still good for a while. Try giving this a shot and report the battery cycle count once you get that value.
