Does anyone know some who speaks the txt dialect fluently? From the little I can actually decypher might it be that he connected the battery terminals the wrong way around, or used a new battery of the wrong voltage/current?

Just a guess.

Bit obvious but is the new battery faulty. What is the voltage across the terminals.
