Battery lifetime problem?

Hi,

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro that i bought about 7 months ago. I downloaded coconut Battery wondering what was my battery's health and i discovered that it was already at 89% of the design capacity, after only 62 loadcycles. I read on apple's website that those macbooks were desingned for 1000 loadcycles, and i saw people who were over 95% of their design capacity after about 300 cycles. I usually charge and uncharge my battery since i got the computer, so i am worring about my battery's lifetime? Are those numbers normal, or should I go to the Apple store to have my computer checked?


Details:


Current capacity: 5129 mAh

Design Capacity: 5770 mAh

Mac Model: MacBookPro9,2

Age: 7 months

Battery Loadcycles: 62


Tanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities


Your MacBook battery is defective. Unibody Macs batteries are designed to have 80% of its capacity after 1000 charges, so your battery doesn't work properly.


As your Mac is in warranty, just take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the battery replaced. The repair will be free for you
