RX3 Starter Issue

The new battery probably needs to be charged, low voltage after sitting is normal, low voltage after charging all night is indicative of a problem. You did the right thing replacing it. Try bump starting it, it's possible that the ring gear on the motor is missing teeth, which could cause it to not be able to turn the engine over, when you stop it after starting it, the ring gear will probably be at a different place.
