If your battery post is corroded and you didn't clean it up when switching batteries then that is another problem right there, it's going to keep the starter from getting full power and it's going to keep the battery from charging as fast or as fully.
Battery posts and terminals should always be clean before being assembled, ignoring this vital step will shorten the life of the whole electrical system by adding a great deal of resistance and lowering the voltage that everything is getting.
