Same in Minnesota.
When you go get a new battery, bring it in with you.
As for checking the battery, I do it about twice a year. On the tip of the battery you will see to rectangular caps. I use a long narrow scree driver to pop them off. The fluid level should be right to the bottom of the plastic well. Never let the fluid level get bellow the top of the lead cell. ONLY refill with DISTILLED water. Never use any other type of water. The minerals will ruin the battery, by dramatically shortening it's life.
I would try to get a warranty replacement.
