2013 CX-9 dead battery.... 3 days old and already needed to boost it twice!

[Sharptarga]

Hi guys, So I just picked up my 2013 CX-9 GT on friday, and like everything for the most part, However the day after bringing it home I went out to it in the morning only to find it had a dead battery.... The drive home from the dealer was a good 30 mins on the highway and it didn't seem like any lights were left on over night. Then yesterday we went on a 30 min drive and while the family was in a store I sat in the vehicle and had the stereo on for 10-15 mins while I setup my blue tooth and such while the engine was off, and again it wouldn't start...

Any suggestions? Is it a bad battery? or does it just need a good charge?
Just frustrating in a new vehicle...

Could be a dead battery or just need a deep cycle charge. If it were mine, I would take it back to the dealer and get a brand new one.

well dead again, so I checked the voltage, seems like a dead cell so got it boosted and off to the dealer again, they replaced it and all seems good, they were pretty apologetic about it...

Yeah, I had a similar experience. I popped the hood and noticed that there was a little bit of a vapor pattern coming out of the cell electrolyte fill cap. A cell had run a cell dry and killed that portion of the battery.
