The electrical suggestions are very good but it could be mechanical. Is the battery bolted down correctly? If the battery is loose in there it can bang around and damage a cell. Do you drive on a lot of rough roads? If you do again the impact can damage the battery. When I worked with a Mechanic in his shop we replaced a lot of bad batteries that were fairly new but not bolted down. We would always insisted on brackets but a lot of the Jiffy shops will not.

Good Luck and Happy Brickin'
