It could be a BAD new battery,, have it checked or the alternator is not producing enough power( electrical problem are difficult to pinpoint, good luck. I to am having problems with my Battery as my car stop charging. I bought a new battery but have not installed it because I am waiting on a new alternator (living in Germany I have to order it). Hopefully it will come in next week and that will solve my problem.

An open circuit in your starter will cause this problem. I replaced 2 batteries and replaced the alternator twice before I took it to a shop and was told the started had an open circuit and needed to be replaced even though it worked fine. I replaced it and have not had a problem since.
