Toby Before replacing the battery try resetting the power management unit (PMU). For instructions go to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
There are also a few battery utilities available a sites like Versiontracker that might help in diagnosis or in recalibrating your battery if you are able to recover it.
