It seems all of you are ignoring the work that was just performed, and that the battery is at 13 volts before starting, 3 volts while cranking and 13 volts after it fails the start. battery connection is the most common point of failure when a new battery gets put in.

maybe while we're at it we should tell him he needs a new engine first
After it fails to start the battery simply stays at 3V.
