I agree with checking voltage drop. However, it takes amps to crank a starter, not volts. Voltage drop will tell you if the battery can handle the damand, but not what the problem is.

There's a right way and a wrong way to charge a new battery, so the new battery can be bad. Since you have a jump box, remove the battery completely and hook the jump box up to the positive and negative batter cables. If it worked directly at the starter but through the cables you have your problem.

Yer battery's dead. Mine went south after only six months in an '08 Ultra. It happens. It was replaced under warranty and has been fine since.
