Default Battery Pack - When to Replace

Considering the time, effort, and expense associated with the planes we fly, I'm curious about what "rules of thumb" people follow for determining when it's time to replace battery packs. I check my receiver and transmitter packs before every flight and cycle them all a couple times a year. Several of my packs are coming in at 90-95% of capacity. At what point should they be replaced? 85% of capacity, 80%, ....? What guidelines do you follow?
