Everyone that I have talked to have had a different experience with their battery. I have had my MBP 17 for three years, heavily used, and my battery is just now going bad. It's total charge time has diminished over time. I use my MBP mostly from home but knowing how a Lithium battery works, I used it unplugged every day untill it discharges. My experience is that the deeper you cycle the battery the longer it holds a charge over time (still diminishes). Also the key is that you never let it completely discharge, this is not good for Lithium batteries as apposed to older technology. I hope this helps.
