I purchased a small hand held multimeter that I take everywhere with me. With the multimeter you can touch it to the negative and positive poles of the battery and find out what's happening.

A new battery will not the culprit, more than likely the cabling is the problem and you must take sandpaper or a knife and make sure all the endings are severely sanded and polished.
