Thanks for the advice.It could very be. What is the brand of your laptop? If you have APPLE, it would not be a problem. My MacBook 2010 is still working good and the battery still last very long. Perhaps it's time for your to get a new laptop . I think the best one out there would be MacBook Pro 2016. It will last you a very long time. It's still not out yet, you need to wait for few more months if that is what you wanted. Yeah, it won't be cheap but I guess you pay for what you get.
