reset battery or new battery JD 02-13-2006

 I have a dell inspirion 2650 that is three years old. It stays plugged on
my desk most of the time. Tonight I went portable and the battery only
lasted about 15 minutes. It seemed to go a lot longer than that.
Is there a way I can reset the battery so it takes a full charge, or do I
need to get a new battery?
TIA
JD

 Three years is usually pushing the limit on notebook battery life. Replace.

you will need a new battery. get it cheaper from ebay.

if you want to keep the laptop plugged into power all the time, then
pull the battery until it is needed.
