Thats more than likely the problem. Laptop batteries don't like being just charged all the time, you have to give them a cycle often or they will start false charging.
One thing i did to recover mine (partly) was to boot into Ubuntu (boot from cd), it read the state of the battery correctly, then it all started working again. Could be worth a try.
