Congrats :)
 
90 minutes, i'd say. bit pants.

Although I am impressed that it's held up this long considering how many cycles it's been through.

clv101 and Hate, what are your battery's full charge capacities?

Mine says this right now, running on battery, 73% charge:

Battery Information:

PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 0102
Hardware Revision: 0300
Cell Revision: 0100
Charge Information:

Full charge capacity (mAh): 4931

You're Charge Remaining means nothing unless you consider the maximum Charge Capacity.

E.g.

2400mAh means nothing on it's own.. if you had a maximum charge capacity of 5000mAh then you can determine that if the battery is dying (if the charge never exceeds 2400mAh when fully charged).
 
Just a bit of an update...

All batteries were replaced free of charge by Apple, no questions asked, under an existing recall. Very happy with that outcome. :)
