While you do get faulty batteries I would look at your power consumption. Modern laptops drain batteries like my 6 year old drains pop.
My inspiron (9300) only lasts an hour with the config I have in place on a good day (full screen power, drive running, wireless and Bluetooth etc).

I have my (ThinkPad) battery installed and plugged in 24x7 - if I need battery I get 4hrs plus on a two year old battery.
