It probably is a defective alternator or generator which is not charging the new battery, and thus the new battery is now almost fully discharged.
Get a battery charger, hook it up properly to your auto battery, and set it according to the instructions with the charger. Also get a cheap Volt-Ohm meter or just a voltmeter.
With the meter, check and record the battery voltage [between the two terminals on the battery] before turning the charger on, and...
After about two hours of charging, turn the charger OFF, and with the meter recheck the voltage. IF the voltage has increased, then reconnect and restart the charger [reset to "trickle" charge rate, or the lowest charge rate possible].
At the lowest charge rate possible, OR if the charger has an "automatic" setting, charge the battery overnight.
IF that gets your car going, then the next day take it to your local Autozone, O'Reilly, Advance, etc.] In my area, all of these auto parts stores have handheld testers that can check battery condition, alternator operation, and your vehicle's electrical system.

1991 gmc van that will not start the battery is fine and the fuel pump turns on with the key and the battery but it just doesnt even engage the starter could the starter or ignition be out?
Most often it is the starter and not the ignition.
I have to turn the ignition key several times before it will start. I doesnt do it every time. The battery is ok. Any ideas?
Ignition switch going bad, corroded or loose battery cables, starter relay or starter going bad.

Why doesnt my phone charge and what can i do to make it charge?
If the phone simply will not charge, either the phones battery needs replacing, or the charger itself has gone south. Suspect the phones battery first - it's the most likely reason.
My car battery has corrosion on it but its on the plus sign...that connection doesnt stick anymore. what is that connection called?
That is the positive battery terminal, if it will no longer tighten down it will need to be replaced. you may want to use some anti corrosion spray after it is reassembled.
