Voltage is too low. It sounds like it is cranking way too slowly. Charge the battery up and start the car. While it's running check the voltage at the battery. It should be somewhere between 13.5-14.5 with the accessories turned off. If it is less than that you may have a bad connection or a charging system problem. If not you may have something staying on when the car is off. Like a light or something aftermarket wired in staying on (amps and caps are known for this as well). It still could be a problem with the new batt as well. Did it die overnight?
