Canon XT battery won't fully charge.

How old is the battery, and any idea of how many charging cycles it's been through?

It might just be it's reached the end of its life and needs replacing

I bought it as a refurb from Adorama in Summer 2008. Is this how a battery that's done for acts? I'd be happy to get a new one but I don't want to then find out the charger is faulty. Maybe I should just replace both...

Which is cheaper, a battery or a charger?

Secondly, even if it turns out to be the charger, a second battery never goes amiss.
