Apple released a battery firmware update a while back that fixed some battery problems. My battery would show 100%, would click down to about 90% and then immediately drop to 0%. The firmware update fixed it for me. If it doesn't work for you, then you'll need a new battery. It's a good chance after 6 months that the battery won't charge again. When these batteries are completely drained of juice, often they won't come back completely, if at all.
