I also had mine replaced for free (6s) on the same recall program ~11months ago.

The battery still has 95.7% of the capacity, with 400 cycles, yet my device is throttling the cpu between 30% and 50%. It was how slow it was running that made me upgrade this year instead of the next which was my original plan.

If I had known that replacing the battery fixed the speed problems I would have saved the money.

They really need to communicate this reduced power state to the user.
