Yes, a new battery might help.
You might look at the system settings and insure that you're using the battery as wisely as possible. Look at the control panel settings to see whether you're spinning down the disk when not needed, as well as any options to slow down the CPU when there isn't some active program running. Then make sure you don't have the screen lit up any more than you find necessary.
