Have you had the battery tested yet?Also made sure the battery cables are clean and tight?Also do you have a multimeter?Sounds like a bad starter or battery.

I have seen bad batteries in brand new cars I have had bad brand new batteries so just because your battery is only 6 months old doesnt mean its bad. Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?Also lets make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.
