Powerbook 15" Al:

I have had my laptop battery for less than one year. I probably use it 50/50 with and without the powercord. It is the second battery I have used and the other is completely hopeless. In system profiler, this is what it says about the battery, which is fully charged:

Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1788
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1788
Amperage (mA): 307
Voltage (mV): 12570
Cycle Count: 228

How do I read that? I barely get 1 hour out of the battery with the "better battery life" settings in place on power management. I have calibrated it a few times in the last week, with no improvements... Is it time for a replacement ?
