Just set up a BX1500G that I bought new 2 days ago and the battery failed light comes on and the unit is chirping. The manual says it this indicates a failed battery. It says the battery is fully charged. The unit QA test slip says everything passed but it was made in November of 2012.
Is this unit defective? Should I return it?

How long have you left it plugged in and charging? I'd leave it for a least 24-48 hours and then run a self test to see if it clears. After batteries sit on the shelf for a while without charging, it needs time to charge back up.
