Sounds like a battery to me, but at a year old, I think I'd be skeptical too. Have you put a voltmeter on the battery? Don't rule out the alternator, if the battery isn't being charged, even a new one will die. A bad Alt should give you a BATT light though.

So you drove from Canada to Florida to have the battery checked??
Glad you got it figured out.
