I ordered a replacement battery for my Macbook Pro (vintage mid 2009) and was curious as to why the charge capacity is only 4558 mAh. I tried to verify that I was ordering the correct model but of course there is always the possibility of receiving a fake so I thought I'd run it by you guys here.

Here it is.

The gentleman at the apple store told me to be certain it had the model number 661-5557 which this does. Could it be a matter of simply needing to calibrate it? Or maybe it's a dud. I just don't want to have it explode on me really.

Here is from the battery information:
