"Brand new" means it should not be doing that.  Even a dying battery should show up.
I would go back to the store.  You have 14 days to return it, which you should NOT waste.  Get it in front of the Genius Bar immediately (well, day after Christmas may be the first shot you have) and get resolution, either a new battery or a new Mac by turning the old one in.
