More than anything else that just sounds like you have a worn out or defective battery that won't take a charge. Any charge much less than about 12 volts will not crank the engine. The PO says they "replaced" the battery but that could mean a lot of things. I've seen a brand new battery from wally world that would not hold a charge overnight. Buy a good fully charged battery, start the car and then test the alternator output immediately. With no alternator output you'll just kill the new battery. Since this is a new to you car you should watch/test for parasitic draws as well. Draining a battery repeatedly will destroy it. Uninformed owners often replace batteries and alternators (in vain) when the root problem is a parasitic draw.
