Hi, I have got a question regarding a battery life.

I bought my Mcbook pro 13' over three years ago, and it has been working really well until recently. The laptop was running on the original battery all the time, and only recently it has 'flashed' the replace battery icon, after over 600 charges.
I went to actually apple store and replaced the battery and the charger, as the charger broke at pretty much the same time. Within the month of using the new battery, with cycle charge count of less than 30, the 'replace battery icon' pops up again. I went back to the apple store, and since the battery was less than a month old they have replaced it with a new one free of charge.
Today is my 3rd day on the new battery, it's the third time I am charging it and it's flashing 'replace battery!" I don't know what's wrong! How could a battery break in less than 3 day, where it has not been heavily used at all????

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
I will try to go back to the store again this week, but it's ridiculous.

I really appreciate any suggestion on what's going on.

Cheers!
