David, of course you want to double check your work first. After that replace the new battery and see if the old will charge. It is possible that you have a bad battery. The standard way to check will be trying to charge with a different charger (use a wall charger not your computer to ensure a higher amperage) and make sure that you have a known-good cable. Check the dock connector for any broken bend or corroded pins. Clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and a few puffs of compressed air. If all that should fail, you will have to check the charging circuitry on the board. There is always a possibility of pry damage to some small component.
