happy new year, everybody !

i've got a one-month-old (c2d 2ghz 2g.ram) macbook which i love already :)

THE ONLY problem is that in coconut battery 2.5.1 i started watching the current battery capacity falling within december (i bought it dec 3rd) from 5200mAh to 4900mAh (sometimes 4800)... 10-15 load cycles ... (leopard updated)

so i want to ask, (i've read so many messages in here and other forums but havent concluded to an answer yet) since it's 1 month old and i see its battery capacity falling , from what point can i ask for a free replacement in apple .. i mean if i watch it for one more month with coconut battery (which must be driven crazy, says charger connected all the time etc...) battery health monitor and i-stat , and i see it is near 90% of its original health/capacity can i ask for a free replacement now? (i mean next month)..

Bear in mind that i live in greece, i bought the macbook new and factory sealed from a power seller on ebay (US). I was told that my warranty is the paypal receipt (email from paypal with Transaction ID) . Is this so ?

finally, i registered in apple.com, got an id, but cannot figure out WHAT exact email address i should contact? (i guess that since the warranty is 1 year GLOBAL, and there is NO official APPLE Greece, i could contact Apple UK for my case) ..

thank you, awaiting your answers !
 
yes i have done so twice..

can you tell me what is the (down) limit of the battery capacity (i mean 85-90%) for the first couple of months (or it doesnt matter) that apple warranty covers me to ask for a free battery change ?

can someone direct me how to contact (via e-mail) applestore.co.uk's support ?

i'm going to watch it closely for about one more month...
you suggest using ONLY battery health monitor or what other utility ?

thank you
