Battery Health
I think i had 94% health and my cycles were in the 1450's, almost 1500.
But i took my blackbook in because i was having problems with
my superdrive, and luckily they swapped my battery and gave me a new one!
I know then run $100+ right?
Well now i'm happily at 28 cycles with 100% health =)

No, it's when your Mac was manufactured, not the battery, but coconut battery has been known to be inaccurate at times.7 months actually
I think coconut battery is showing when my battery was manufactured
Don't stress over your battery health. To prove this, over the past month I saved the values to show how much it fluctuates.
The best advice you'll get on this forum about your battery is to USE it often. I usually don't let it get below 5-10% and I also never charge it when it's around 92% or more (just to avoid the 99% full charge). And don't overdo the calibration either. Once every month or so is fine. Basically just enjoy your battery and don't become obsessed with it.

Calibrate your battery, it will jump up after a couple of days after the calibration
It's impossible to have 102 or 106% battery health. Calibrate your battery for a more accurate reading.
