    The 'Remaining Wattage' and 'Fully Charged Capacity' of my new battery are both listed as 57306mWh in MobMeter. The Design Capacity is listed as 88800mWh.

    The 'Wear Level' is listed at 35%.

    Why would a new battery be this way -- is there some conditioning involved I need to do? The unit has only been run on A/C thus far.

    I think it's a common bug on v2000z. I have the same experience with mobile meter. Nothing to worry about. The battery should last around 2.5 hrs, if you got close to that, you are fine.
