Brand New battery draining fast after Monterey Install

I just had Apple install new battery in my mid 2015 MacBook Pro 15" a week ago. When I'm using just safari with one window the battery drains 1 percent every 2 minutes. In an hour it will drop 30 percent or more. I installed Monterey. The laptop runs great. There are no issues other than the battery. Are there things I can do to fix this? Could it be a faulty battery?
