Toshiba Laptop battery problem

Hello,
I seem to have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 and it's
battery. I've searched for forums and no one seems to have exactly the
same problem I do.

Basically, my battery seems to run out after about 3 minutes. Even for
Toshiba this seems like a short battery life!
It takes about 1-2 hours to charge and the amber light comes on as
it's doing so and the % increases slowly. I then unplug it and the %
slowly decreased to around 97% before I get the laptop switching
itself off (no warning or shut down). When I turn it on, Windows boots
up again and the battery power is back to 0%.
I thought it was the battery that was the problem, but I've since
bought a new one and the same thing happens.

Any one seen this? If so, did you manage to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance
Tony
