OS X tells me my battery needs to be replaced on my 15" rMBP, it's apparently at under 80% charge capacity now.

According to "System Information", I've done a mere 359 cycles - and according to their website, "Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles." [0]

Of course their warranty on defective batteries conveniently runs out after just one year. I've been meticulous about only charging it with genuine ($80+) chargers, including at home, at work, one in the car, and one in the carry-on. Someone should tell them about this new tech.

Mine has about 650 cycles on it, and the battery currently lasts about 30 minutes, and dies at around 55% (reported by the OS).
