Have the battery and charging system tested.

Unless the whole world changed most new batteries are NOT fully charged and should never be left dead as they don't like that and if alternator is working and seems it is know they require a decent battery to put out their best and if they work too hard it can ruin a good one.

Been my habit forever to charge up battery first then install it. Yup, have had my share of bad new ones most likely from improper handling before you got it,
