Apple guarantees the batteries for 300 recharge cycles, so if you charge it every day it may be gone. You should try resetting the power manager, then fully drain and fully recharge the battery.

You can see lots of details about your battery if you go to About this Mac>More Info>Hardware>Power; the cycle count will show how many times you've charged your battery. Even if you're covered by warranty, the battery won't be covered if it's over 300 cycles. Here's my data I just copied as an example:

Once they do go, they seem to go fast. My wife's battery just died, but her 14 month old MacBook is shared with my two teenage kids so it's probably being used 18 hours a day, and recharged constantly.
Also, I've heard that it's hard on the battery to leave it in if you're running on AC current most of the time; supposedly, all the little micro charges will burn up the battery and shorten its life.
