Asus laptop cosider replacing batttery problem

[beingdinesh]

Hello,
I am using a asus laptop and have recently installed the Windows 7 . I was using the Windows xp before, and did not have any issues with the battery, but now the battery symbol in the notification bar is crossed out and the exact error message is that "[t]here is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly". The battery I am using is quite old, so it may in fact need to be replaced, but as far as I can tell it is functioning properly...

Did anybody else run into this problem, and do you guys think that the battery does in fact need to be replaced?

Thanks.
