Get the battery checked, and while you are there get the whole charging system checked, Advance Auto or AutoZone can both do this for free.

It is possible to get a bad battery right off the shelf, not likely but possible, it is also possible to kill a perfectly good battery with a marginal alternator or giant stereo or a bad ground leak.
