01 F4i NEW BATTERY and wont start

Hey guys
So I just replaced my battery because the other one was gone. Had it charged and dropped it in. It started/ turned over twice. Let it sit for an hour and want to go ride it and it wouldnt turn over. My gauge does the cycle, the fuel injector fires and when i press the starter it does the clicking noise like when my previous battery died. After trying 3 times it doesnt even make the noise anymore. If I jump it, it starts.

Any ideas?

sounds like there might be some sort of parasitic draw on the system. hmmm

The battery that you installed is no good.
