Maybe your wiring isn't hefty enough and is causing too much of a voltage drop.Check the voltage at the battery as you are firing it up and at the heater. Have you tried with the new battery alone - if the other one is duff it will bring the new one down. If the glow plug were faulty I wouldn't have thought that it would fire up at all.
