You can test battery capacity dealer may have the kit to do it I used to work for a company that did fire alarms and had quite advance dkit for testing back up battery capacity full software plots of the discharge curve etc, that’s the only way to really test the battery is it under warranty?

If driving style won’t change I would invest in a ctek and if you have towing electrics a towing ctek adapter

Otherwise every few years you will be replacing a fairly expensive battery, also check warranty terms closely...
