You need to run a full diagnostic on the battery so we can see the specs on how much life the battery has left.

If you can, please post the advanced results so we can diagnose. 3 years is about average life of a battery so very likely you need a new one. This is an external clip-in battery so easy to replace and no problem finding one on amazon or ebay. HP will no longer carry it.
