It could be your alternator no good that why it did nit charge your new battery. You need to check to see if the alternator was the cause of this problem, you could do it by yourself, jump start the car let the engine on then remove the positive battery cable( red cable) and touch it to the frame of the car to see if it spark or not( be careful make sure dont spark near gas). If it spark and the engine stop then you should go exchange your battery, other than that your alternator is out.

I was thinking a bad alternator as well. When the car is running a good alternator will keep the battery charged. If the alternator is bad the battery will drain quickly even if it's a new battery.
