    Hooked it up to the old battery, with the multi-meter attached, and watched the voltage drop from 12.3 to a mere 0.77.

    Isn’t it amazing how easily you can be fooled by surface charge / open-circuit voltage? You see this all the time when t-shooting electrical systems.. "The socket reads 12V but the dang bulb wont light?!" (look for the high-resistance connection or wire in the circuit.. it’s there, 100% guaranteed).

    Anyway, you’ll not make that mistake again! Glad you were able to figure it out.
