Service Battery Problem: MBP 13-inch Early 2011

Until last week my Macbook's Battery was giving around 5 and half hours on full charge.

Suddenly The Service Battery warning started to apper. and It started taking around 3 and half hours to fully charge without using it. And even 100% battery now gives less than 3 hours for use.

My battery has 553 Cycles; and Health goes up and down from 63% to 70%.

Its been 21 months I have been using it!;

Please suggest me; Is there any way I can solve the problem.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

The best solution is to replace the battery. The degradation of battery life is a good indicator that the ultimate demise of the battery is near. That is what service battery' means. Yews, you have not had the 1000 cycles that is advertised, but some batteries exceed it and others do not. Yours is in the latter category.

Ciao.
