| I wouldnt think that the battery would be knackered after only a year.
Have you checked your earths, both battery to chassis and engine to chassis? 13v would seem adequate to charge although its just a wee bit on the low. Is the alternator belt tight enough. It can slip without squeeling with the result that the ignition warnng light goes out but the battery isn't getting sufficient charge.
If after all this the battery is still duff take it back and get a replacement under guarantee. A year of occasional use is nowt for a battery.
Cheers,
Tony
