I have a 99 corsa sport only done 22,000 mile but having trouble with the battery as it want hold its charge.
Is it possible for such a new battery to be knackered
I have also had a Cobra alarm fitted recently is it possible that dogy electrics could be draining its power.

yes as this is always ON. For example if I leave my Calibra for 2 weeks without starting etc, it will be dead and have to rechagre the battery. So the more electronic toys you put on that were not fitted as standard will drain the battery a bit more quickly.

Batteris are only goood for 3-6 years, after that theri health drmatically drops, see my guide at
