    It says I have had 23 charge cycles, but my health is 97%. I DID calibrate it when I first bought it. Is this normal?

    By the way, I have a 13"MBP with the integrated battery.

    Yeap its fine. The battery can fluctuate quite a bit, and I wouldn't get too worried until you see it get below say 85% health.
    I've seen my battery go from 93% one day to 99% the next.
