Possible, it did go flat a couple of times from lack of use. I use battery tenders and also made sure that the OEM battery was charged up after installing the new alternator and everything seemed okay afterwards.

Could be a bum battery, (even oe), alternator, a
drain, etc. But, if you are under warranty, the worse
they can do is beat you on a new battery.

Fwiw, any/every new battery is already weak when
one buys it; if you do get one, a trip home is not
the way to get it up to full snuff, imo. An overnight
low amp "trickle-type" charge is, imo.

Unfortunately out of warranty. I also made sure to charge up the new battery (got a green light from my Deltran Bettery tender after a quick overnight charge --I use quick-connects on all my cars so I just plugged it in when I got home)
