that battery is very unhealthy. do you have a battery new enough that it's supposed to retain 80% health for 1000 cycles?

No, I don't have another battery. My current battery has been this way for about a year now. When fully charged and unplugged, my Mac will shut down when the battery drops to 70%. I don't really want to buy a new charger so I just leave my Mac plugged in 24/7.
 
Bought a new battery sometime within the past 2 years (can't really remember).

Third Battery for my '07 Macbook. The older ones got swollen, no free replacement. The 1st battery was messing up my trackpad and was swollen; the 2nd battery still holds a very good charge but it was swollen and making my macbook wobble and I could see the interior part of the battery from the outside.

Here is the 3rd battery ~1month ago, bought on eBay for $47; Original Apple from batch from '07 but had w/ 0 cycles. Yes, it has been calibrated a few times and still has higher capacity (tends to be ~100 to 102, today was higher w/ 103%).

Please don't mention the age of my MacBook. He's really sensitive about his age nowadays. :(

There might be something wrong with my battery?

Age: 7 Months
Battery loadcycles: 296

Current capacity: 6644 (96%)
Design capacity: 6900

Compared to most of the cycles in this thread, my macbook pro has way to much load cycles. Is this a problem?
