My mom is using Nokia 3230 from last 3-4 years. Recently it gets discharged very fast and sometimes even if battery is charged it switch off automatically, how can i know about its battery life is over or is there any s/w or h/w problem .

3-4 years is a long time. Your battery is most probably dead by now. Get a new one.

Never go for chinese battery ,
not only will it provide inferior battery life but will also ruin ur handset.

Try some other shops too like the Mobile Store, etc. if there is one nearby.
