Is it possible for a battery to be perfectly fine one day and then just die

Question

my black MacBook battery just died the other day, its an aftermarket unit that came with my MB I bought it used. he computer has been working great only issue is original battery was pretty worn so seller bought an additional and kept the factory one as a spare, however I'm having to use tha spare which is holding maybe an hour charge if that because the "good" battery laid an egg, suddenly and without warning, computer shut down and wouldn't come back to life till I changed battery for original one and the aftermarket battery now doesn't even charge, it will go up to 3 lights and after 5 minutes be back down to 1 flashing light. Is there an issue here or is this just a dead battery?

Lyssa you are becoming my angel, hope you take a look at my DVD stuck in drive post too .
Here is the system profiler info as it is I'm probably going to get some used batterie(s) of ebay but I wish I could forgo that process, I'll profile the battery that died when I get home. Thank you Angel, er.....I mean Lyssa
