Power Errors On Hvr-dr60 Recorder

My HVR-DR60 is suddenly saying there's no battery power. Looking at the display, from the left, the battery icon shows about a 1/4 charge (full when it was full), there's an icon that looks like a dot with a jagged arrow pointing up coming off of it, then a blinking, empty cylinder shaped icon, then 000min. What's going on? Need this for a shoot this week and next. HELP! Thanks.
