What's wrong with my ATV/battery?

I have a 3 month old 12v 6a motorsports battery I use to start my ATV. Recently it started getting weird and dying like every week - now when I plug it in, fully charged, to the ATV, when I turn the key it clicks/buzzes, and the wires by the battery and the screws get hot. And I mean ouch hot. It hasn't blown up, but I have no idea what the problem is - it started when I was riding my ATV and it stalled (I'm learning) and when I went to restart it it wouldn't restart, and after I charged the battery (it was dead) it still didn't charge - and now I'm here. Also, the battery reads 10ish volts on a voltimetre. Is it a battery or ATV problem?
Thanks!

PS - I bought a 12v motorcycle battery on amazon and tried that but it didn't work - I suspect its not enough amps, as its like 3/4 the size of the one I have now.
