Other people on here know lots more than I do, but is there any chance a fuse or two blew when you reconnected the battery?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes.

Unhook the lead going to the starter and see if the problems go away. Maybe the starter you got is bad....Hopefully not from O Reillys or Kragens...There stuff stinks.

I would have insisted that starter related problem would manifest itself differently and this has more to do with battery ... Glad it got solved.
