Battery Health/Life

I just got a new battery and after I charged it the 2nd time the health on iStat already says 98% (3 cycles)

Anyone have any tips or ideas about how to maintain your life. I know calibrating helps, but after 3rd cycle??

My computer is in my signature.

Yeah call apple, although I'm on 20 cycles and have a 94%. Try unplugging, running down to about 80%, and coming back up. It usually goes back to 99 or 100 for me.
