5300 mAh is closer to the full charge capacity of a new MBP battery. MBs are usually aound 5 Ah.

In any event, you still have more than 80% of the original capacity. That's within spec.

in addition to the previous post, when your macbook drops below 4160 mAh with less than 300 cycles, take it in.
