Is it okay for a new laptop battery to report 90% capacity?

I bought a new laptop battery on Amazon for my Thinkpad. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me the battery has 91% capacity. Am I being ripped off or is it normal for the battery to initially report a capacity of less than 100%?

If you have not charged the battery yet, I'd say that any reading at all is perfectly fine. You should charge it completely, then see where things stand.
