ALWAYS suspect the battery first! ALWAYS.
The battery is the weakest part of the electrical system and can go bad at any time. Forget that it is only X months old. they just fail when they feel like it.
The best purchase I have meade in this area is a modern computerized CCA tester on eBay for $32.
You can test the CCA of your battery a know for sure what you have.
Use it for routine testing and you ca avoid the "IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY".
