Ok, here's the thing:

I got my PB 15"/1.5GHz in March of 2005, so you get a jist of the age. My question is this: If after a full charge, when I first turn it on (without the adapter plugged in) after its charge, the meter reads 95%, what does this mean about the battery's "health"? Is it time for a new one or, at what point (percentage after a full charge), is it time for a newbie?
