Q: My battery charges but dies quickly

Hello

I recently got this powerbookG4 from a friend as a gift

It was used be my friend so he didn't need it .

The Mac was dead so I needed to charge it to power up

I notice it takes a long time to charge, it took like a couple of hours to go up 1 %

I left it charging for a while

When I came back the lights showed it was fully charged (after a couple of hours of charging)

I turned it on and it should 100% battery when I disconnected from the power cable it went from 100 to 99

After a couple of mins of usage it immediately went from 99 to 0%! (Note I disconnect it from the charger)

 

 

Is there any way it can be fixed?

This is my first powerbook ever so I don't know much of how to use it.

Do I need to buy a new battery?

Note- the charger cable is kinda beat up not bad but it's used

 

If anybody can tell me what to do

Thank you .

PowerBook
