How old is the battery? If you do get a new one, I would charge it fully then leave it out and use the charger to power the laptop when you are at home, only use the battery when you take the laptop away from home.

When it show no battery inserted, were the laptop plugged in? It could be the battery connector on the laptop or on the battery is dirty or wore out, otherwise it could be the battery is dying or there is something wrong with the charging/battery detection hardware.
