If it's an older laptop it's probably just that the battery is dead. The
maximum charge on batteries becomes less with use. My own laptop only
lasted about 30 minutes in the end. After a battery swap (I had a spare)
i'm back to more then 2 hours.

If it's not an older battery/laptop... try discharging it fully and then
do a full charge with the laptop turned off.
