If you laptop doesn't come with a battery recalibration utility, then you can still recalibrate your battery by booting to the bios on a full charge, and leaving it there untill the laptop shuts off.

recharge, and your battery should be cycled.

A lithium ion battery does not retain memory, unlike nickel cadmium, but the circuitry does somewhat learn the voltages and sometimes needs to be "reset". Basically, what S_NINJA has described will reset the circuitry. Drain it all the way till shutoff, then recharge.
