Nikon d3200 camera battery problem?

I have a brand new nikon d3200

I charged the battery for 1hour 30 like it said in the manual

after around 70 (if that) shots without flash 50% through viewfinder 50% through live view
the camera battery is dead? I fully charged it again yesterday morning took around 50 shots today through the viewfinder turning it off each time and now again the battery sign is flashing low?

I originally had a sony a500 dslr and the battery would last for a LOT longer I know this is a better camera but at this rate I'll need to carry quite a few spare batteries with me

does this sound like a faulty battery or is this sadly normal for the nikon d3200 ?
any help would be great, thanks.
