The first one got recalled by Apple, the second one died while still under warranty, the third battery died in mid-January. Luckily, I got a replacement for free (at least I can't complain about the service). Yesterday I calibrated my battery in the way recommended by Apple, everything seemed fine after that. I checked the capcacity this morning and noticed that it had suddenly dropped to 5046 mAh - nearly 400 mAh gone! So I figure this battery will also be dead in, like, two months or so...
