What is your battery capacity loss?

Hello people.

I'm just wondering what is your battery capacity loss ? Mine is about 16% after 14 months, so about 1.14%/month. I've been moving my laptop quite frequently

...but i think the real value is aroud 5100..5200, this after 2 years (so, about 5..6% total), pretty good.
When let the battery goes down to 40%, i recharge or just shut down waiting for a power source.

I think there are sometimes big differences in quality. The battery of my eeepc lost after 4 years and lots of charging cycles around 15% only while the battery of my laptop becomes unusable after 2 years - it's the third time i need a new one although i am careful with recharging when it's not used for a longer period.

So i think 16% after 14 months is o.k.

My battery (asus eee 1008ha) is trashed after two years. It used to last 4 hours and now it dies after ~30 minutes. I set up ibam to monitor my power with the soft-limit set to 40% XD because that was the level it was dying at.
