I know that Apple Stores have a battery testing utility that reveals defective batteries, AASPs probably do as well.
After going through that many battery cycles, the battery will begin to slow down and not function as well.

Every time you charge your battery to 100 and then use the battery power until 0, that is 1 battery cycle. Under the program you link, you would quite likely have gotten a free replacement - as you state, the program is now closed.

Rather, if runtime is insufficient for your use, replace the battery - for Maybe that works for you, but for most people 20 minutes of use on battery is useless. 1000 mAh will probably give you ~20 minutes of run time. New replacement battery compatible with a MacBook Pro. Leaving an MBP on AC power 24/7 is a sure way to kill a battery. Tested and guaranteed to have no cycles on the cell and to have a capacity greater than 7336 mAh.
