Call Apple tomorrow (1-800-275-2273) about the battery program. (9am-6pm PST)
Or take it to a Apple Store. I called Apple and a new battery is supposed to arrive Tuesday. You will need a credit card because they want to be sure you send back the old one.

Unfortunately all the info I have is in that article...I would guess under 80% for 100-150 cycles should get replaced. (Don't quote me on the please) (no pun intended)

New Battery on the way
OK. I called Apple this morning. I should receive a replacement battery in 3 to 4 days. The funny thing is, my battery seemed to be fine (about 95-98% capacity) BEFORE the battery update!

I just want to post that you can increase you battery capacity if its new with a few full discharges and recharges. For the past few days Ive been using my macbook till its completely dead then recharging it overnight to 100%. These are the results.. see the quote below to see the previous state.

2010 15" MBP i5. Seems to be getting lower on an almost constant rate. If it keeps doing that it I will be it at 70% in 2 years time.

My old Samsung notebook's battery stayed fine (>95%) for around 3 years and only in the forth year it dropped within a few months to 80%. These 1000 cycle Apple batteries seem pretty bad.
