Check to make sure the battery terminals are tight and clean.

You'll need a voltmeter to diagnose this. Normal battery voltage w/engine off is usually above 12.5V When the engine is running is should be above 14V. The shop manual pdf file has the steps to find out what's wrong-look at it.

You have a new battery, how long did you charge it?
How long is your typical trip?
