Apart form normal use of the battery, it is possible that the battery is getting old. Most types of rechargeable battery become less able to hold a charge as they age or may indeed have a finite number of times that they can be recharged. This will happen to phone batteries and to car batteries. When this happens you need a new battery and make sure that you dispose of the old battery properly (they contain chemicals that harm the environment).
