Hello bc,
Surface discharge is sometimes a problem with an open top battery.
Take you voltmeter and go from the positive post, to the surface of the battery.
If you read more then millivolts, the battery will self discharge. The more volts you read, the faster the discharge. I know it is a new battery, but while running the engine some we
of the electrolyte may be on top of the battery
Clean it up with a bit of water and baking soda.
Don't let any baking soda get in the cells.
Guido.
