Thanks skripatch.
Looks like I will have to fork out for a new battery. Though I don't understand how it can go from working fine and having 100% capacity when charged, to absolutely nothing, basically overnight.
The battery was only a year old and didn't get a whole lot of use as if I was going to be on mains for a long period of time then the battery got taken out as I trusted the mains coming into my house.

Well, I have bought a new battery online to replace this one.
Any suggestion from Mark_Lenovo on the subject? I am just wondering as to why, even though I and a couple of others it seems are having the same battery issues as those with the N100 series (which seem to use the same batteries as us,) we are not entitled to the same extended battery warranty and replacement.
It seems very unfair as someone else pointed out. I am considering selling my laptop now once the replacement battery arrives and going with the competition. I bought this particular model because I presumed it would have the same quality and reliability as IBM, but it seems that all Lenovo carried over was IBM's contacts list.
I didn't think of it at first but my problems arrived straight out of the box with a botched install of Vista and have had little issues here and there ever since. My previous laptop, a Dell Inspiron 6000 is still going well 4 years later although the battery is only now showing signs of needing replacement. Yet here I am only a short while out of a 1 Year warranty needing a brand new battery due to shoddy build rather than over-use.
I am very disappointed in myself that I mistook Lenovo for being a quality company in the same vein that IBM was known for.
