So I broke down and bought a new battery. Will continue fighting Apple on this case, because battery swelling is definitely a design flaw and a fire hazard.

But anyway, I'm just curious if anyone else has had ridiculously long first charge times? I've had this thing plugged in for 3 and a half hours now and its barely 30% charged. Everything reports its perfect health, 100% capacity. Just taking a long time to fully charge.

Edit: found out the problem. Did an SMC reset and PRAM reset. Fixed the problem. Charging full speed now.

Surprised I didn't think of that sooner, considering how many times I did an SMC and PRAM reset on the last battery when it started randomly killing the system on me.
