Last November I replaced a failing MBP battery.  The new one crapped out 
on me the other day and in desperation I re-installed the old one.  It 
still puts up the service flag but right now it shows 74% of capacity, 
has been running for almost 30 minutes on battery and still shows 1:24 
(76%) left.  It was much worse than that when I replaced it in November 
and it showed less than 40% when I first put it back in the computer.  
How could it get back up to 74%?
