I'd take the battery to a laptop repair shop see if they can do a check on it, they should be able to check any degradation and will be able to advise what best action would be. It could also be the terminals the battery sits in?!

Get advice from trading standards too, sales of goods act may cover battery seeing as 2 years isn't really that old.

Well that helped lol ! To be honest it sounds like the battery has gone ( but could just be a loose connection )

You can get batteries on the bay of E but they can be pricey, take it to an independant pc repair shop and they can test it without charging the prices PC world etc charge.
