Dead Battery !

Never gotten less than 4 years out of a battery even if I abused it. So 2 years sounds like a problem, and you should not settle for that kind of service.

At 2 years old, there should still be a warranty. Try to bring it back.

It was my understanding that there are like only 4 major battery manufacturers, so the branding should not matter if that is correct.

That said, in the last 20 years or so, I have only bought my batteries at BJ's Wholesale. Good brand, good price, always have fresh stock, NEVER had a problem. Before that, I always bought mine at Sears or NAPA, always had good service from them back then.

Good luck.
