Does that mean you have to "hot swap" your battery?

After the update on the batt... I am seeing in ISTATpro that my batt heath is 62% after 63cycles. Does this sound right... I dont think so.

I just spoke to the guys from Digicape and they say apple does not rely on 3rd party batt counters... so I said well where is apples batt counter and he said they dont have one lol muppet
