Battery Replaced after 6 weeks

Hi,
Joined to post this. Got my new Qashqai Tekna Xtronic about 6 weeks ago. Only done 600 miles, but I really like it.
Went out in it on Wed and a couple of hours later someone told me I'd left the lights on. Odd as they're automatic. Went to the car and everything was dead - I could unlock it by pressing the remote button, but not the keyless door handle button.
Pressing the start button did nothing and couldn't turn the lights off. RAC were very busy so asked if they could come Thursday morning as I was at home.
When they came they jump started it and the alarm started going off along with "Battery Management Fault See Dealer" and "System Fault" warnings. They said their test said the battery needed replacing. They disconnected and re-connected the battery which stopped the alarm and stopped the warnings.
I drove it to the dealer and left it with them. They've had a look today and replaced the battery.
We've had 3 previous Qashqais and all have had the battery replaced under Warranty. I wasn't expecting it with the new one and definitely not this soon.
Hopefully a one off dodgy battery
