Battery Problems

[raider123]

Even after charging the battery for a few hours, if I switch it on while NOT connected to the mains the Tablet immediately shuts down after booting up. If I switch it on while connected to the mains it starts OK. I can then unplug it. The battery level says fully charged and then quickly goes down to about 40% but the Tablet works OK. If I then switch it off and start it again, after booting up the battery says empty and the device shuts down. Is this a faulty battery?
