I own a Sony DV Camera (PC4) which has just been lying around for some while. The trouble is that no matter how much or or how little I charge the battery it'll only last for about 3minutes. It's meant to be an hour battery but only ever lasted about 45 minutes and shrank from there. It's over 2 or 3 years old.

Is this battery dead? Where can I buy a 4 hour battery that isn't going to let me down when I'm out and about and need power!? Something to do with battery memory?
