If you purchased it last Christmas... you could ask the company for a new battery... you might strike gold so to speak and get them to send you out a new battery.....
If your computer is usually plugged into a wall or so, you can take the battery out.... keeping it plugged into the wall is more or less like murder... ok maybe not murder because you aren't planning to do it ... so... a slow homicide... lol.... it's bad for the battery...
You COULD try to save the battery, just leave it on and un-plugged until it dies a few times (make SURE to save your work though!) then after that just run it down until it's almost dead and then charge it back up... I had a friend that their computer only lasted about this long too, he did that and it saved it....
but try contacting Acer first, if they give you the battery it'll either A) save you from doing CPR on your battery.. or B) Save you the $$$ so you don't have to buy another battery!
