bad battery after 9 months?

I ordered the iFixit battery repair kit and replaced the battery of my 15" early Retina MBP, ( not so easy but went ok) but now after just 9 months I already get a battery warning and battery capacity is 70 %. Thats frustrating. ( I already did SMC reset).

How are your experiences with the iFixit battery quality?

Before you contact iFixit lets check it you may have a different issue, install this gem of an app! CoconutBattery take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question
