Battery at 89 percent health -- can i get a new one?

Hi!
I have a T61p, and after almost a year, I've noticed battery time is running shorter. I used to be able to keep the computer running for three hours on my settings, but now it runs for about 2h 20 minutes. When I do
grep -F capacity: /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
in gnu/linux, I get
design capacity:       84240 mWh
last full capacity:      75790 mWh
which means the battery is at 89.97 % health.
The battery is still in its warranty period. Is this decrease in capacity enough to get a new one?
I can't check battery health in windows, as I threw that OS out and can't get it back without ruining my GNU/Linux installation.
Thanks for help!

Batteries are consumable items, and the condition you have described is a result of normal wear and tear..... so, no.
