Does the battery on the new MBP need to be broken in as is the case with other lithium ion batteries. My understanding is that new batteries usually require 3-5 complete discharge/charge cycles for optimal performance to kick in. Is that so with the latest Apple battery as well?

Only thing you need to do is calibrate the battery.
