what should i do

Buy a new battery, there's nothing else to do.

No battery is ever covered by more than a year, unless there's a recall, but you're late for that one as well.

Battery warranties are quite short, for a reason: they lose their charge capacity over time through normal use. I had an UltraBay Slim battery that lost 48% of it's charge capacity in a year, and I neglected to call to ask for a replacement before the warranty expired. Nothing I could do but ... buy a few more from an eBayer.

you might go to the lenovo battery recall site.
i got a brand new 9 cell battery here on the forum and checked it out just for curiousity. the bar code came back as a recall, so i filled out the online form and lenovo fedex'ed me a new battery overnight.

can't hurt to try...
