We need to go back and make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. I suspect this is causing these issues which means we should also have some codes pointing us in that direction.
Here are some guides that will help with this:

Let's run through this and report back what codes you have and what happens after you clean and tighten the battery cables. Clearly just replacing the battery would not cause this so we need to go over what was done and go from there. Thanks
