Hi and WELCOME TO THE FORUM :wave:

Its not uncommon for a car thats been sitting at a dealer for a long time to have a flat battery. I would ask them to replace it rather than charge it, or at very least test it. When a battery is "flat" it can damage the battery. This can sometimes be recovered by a specialist charger, but not always. You MAY be lucky and just need a recharge/ jump start, but unless you've been playing a lot with your new toy and not driving it much, it is more than likely the battery is weak.

If its on its original battery, it would probably be getting weak by now anyway.
