The way it behaved when you hooked it in PARALLEL to the other battery (not series!), it sounds like you hooked it up backwards.
Are you actually looking at the labels on the battery, or are you just assuming you know which is which (i.e. "positive is labeled + or POS" vs. "positive is always on the right").
