A battery is classed as a consumable, meaning it probably won't be covered. However, take the bike back to the dealer as no battery should fail in a year. It also might be an electrical fault draining the battery.
You cant lose anything by trying!!
 
With it being a brand new bike, it is unlikely to be a battery problem. I would recommend your husband buys a trickle charger which keeps the battery charging when the bike is not regularly in use. If he doesn't ride the bike daily or every couple of days, the battery will lose charge fairly quickly.

The trickle charger leads connect to the battery (and stay there) and come out by the exhaust. When the bike is not in use the leads just plug into the charger unit.

If this does not work, take it back to the dealer

My husband bought a new bike in september, the battery keeps going dead and having to be recharged and/or jumped. Is it a warranty fault?
