Powerbook Battery

Since upgrading to Tiger i've noticed that my Battery has been draining rather fast, when it boots up the time only states that i have 1 hour and 05 minutes of charge left (with Panther it was close to 2 if not more) and it seems to be loosing charge fairly quick, about 1% every minute or so.

I downloaded iBatt and it gave me a rating of C or D+, should i consider going out and getting a new battery??

IF so where is the best and cheapest place to get apple laptop batteries?
