Battery connections can come loose or build up corrosion so you are not drawing full power or are not charging.
Your battery may have been OK - you have to fully charge it first then measure the voltage again about a half hour later so the "surface charge" dissipates, then test it with a load tester. By replacing the battery you may have cleaned up and tightened the connectors so your problem could have been solved that way. A short would probably have blown a fuse or melted/burned some wiring.
