I purchased an IBM R-52 laptop a year ago. Nowadays,whenever i run it on the battery,the battery level decreases upto 60-70% and then suddenly dips to 4%.Do I need to purchase a new battery? What would be the approx. price of a new battery?

Just try calibrating the battery. This option would mostly be available in the BIOS or thru an IBM provided software. It should help mend "battery manners"!

To maximize a notebook's battery performance, there are battery-calibration tools. This tool checks the battery's performance by discharging it fully and then optimizes its performance accordingly. The calibration process is a time consuming process as it discharges your entire battery, so run it when you have the time.
In a nutshell, it resets the hold time.
