  I'd say your battery is getting weak.  Being a relatively new
battery....that doesn't necessarily mean it is still a good battery.   I've
had newish batteries go belly-up for no real reason and had to replace
them.  I try to buy batteries that have a decent replacement warrantee,
because I've needed to replace 3  recently  and one brand new one was also
very weak, right out of the store.

  Be a skeptic when you have it tested, too.  Many auto parts places just
'spout out' whatever they feel like without really knowing how to test a
battery properly...or they have crummy test equipment and don't use it
correctly.
