Why Do I Have to Replace My Battery?

Woke my XPS up from hibernation, and here's what I see:



The thing is, my XPS M1330 is less than a year old! I've been using it practically 12-16 hours a day since I got it though. Is this kind of capacity loss or wear normal?

Am using Windows 7 btw, and as I've previously written, I've experienced lower battery life with the OS.
