Batteries from 100% full to 7% in 5 min
My XPS M1210 is now 2 years old. It came with a 6 and 9 cell battery. The 6 cell has displayed this behaviour late 2008 and now it also happens to the 9 cell. So the "battery" is really not a battery any more.
However, the 6 cell is used far more than the 9 cell, and the button on the battery, no matter when it's depressed, will result in no LEDs illuminating. However the 9 cell will still illuminate
In Windows and the BIOS, whenever the AC adaptor is plugged in, both 6 and 9 cell batteries will show to be 100% fully charged...
Would this be due to the battery being totally exhausted, or would there be something wrong with the laptop itself?

If the batteries are still charging, they're simply at the end of their useful lives - two years is decent for a lithium ion battery (they age, and will die of that as much as from use).
