The battery is likely nearing the end of its useful life.
The SD 1100IS (nor any other sub-compact P&S camera) will not improve your low light shots over the SD450. It is a limitation of the small image sensor size. The increase in pixels on the SD 1100 actually makes the light sensitivity worse if anything. (More pixels on the same size space means less light per pixel). If you are reasonably happy with the SD450, I would replace the battery and keep trucking. IMHO
If you don't mind using a flash in low light settings, you could get a hand held flash that triggers off the camera flash. Though getting the exposure level right can be tricky with those. On the plus side is being able to bounce the light off the ceiling and get a nice diffuse light that way.
Best of luck.
