Can a battery get a short?

My phone has been randomly turning off for no reason. But only when I'm on battery, does nothing when I'm plugged up. I haven't dropped it or done anything to damage it. It's just a little under a year and a half old. At first I thought it was my rom being screwy. So I flashed back to PA 1.98 and it still turns off randomly. When it turns back on the battery will be about 25%-70% lower than it was when it died. So I'm thinking my battery has a short in it or something that makes it lose power randomly long enough for the phone to turn all the way off, but I don't wanna drop the money for a new one (broke right now...stupid speeding ticket) just for it to still be messing up. So does anyone know of any software/rom issues that would be causing this? I'm currently running Condemned's CM7.

If it's a short mine has one as well. I'll get a black screen then nothing n it'll pop back on after a semi short wait or battery pull n same about the battery.

Its getting worse and starting to really get annoying. It pretty much always does it unless its plugged up

Well it is a year and a half old phones do tend to age and as well as battery. I'd look for batteries on amazon maybe even a new charger.
