I just changed my less than one year old battery this weekend. It was toast. Unfortunately I was unable to exchange it as I was in the middle of BuFu so I took the financial hit. She now runs great! Moral of the story is that 'new' batteries do go bad, sometimes quickly.

In my case the battery/truck sat at the repair shop for six weeks. It doesn't get run often as it is my "cabin truck". I always leave it on a trickle charge when I am gone. Always.
