Yeah, batteries usually fail for a few reasons:

1) Just an overlooked problem (which is what happened to my 2006 MacBook Pro's battery within 3 months of owning it),

2) Because you're using it far too little and make the battery last for a whole month (you need to use your device at least 30 minutes a day), and

3) Because you're just not using the device and have let the battery literally die.

4) Laptop batteries die easily when you're using them as a desktop. Literally the single most common issue with them. Should you have two computers though? No, it's just better to read up on how your battery tech works and cycle through them properly.

And yeah, the *majority* of the time, the battery dies after you've moved onto a new device. Otherwise it's usually because of #2 or #4.
