If this is an original battery it's toast by age alone. What may have happened is it couldn't hold a charge much at all - do try and charge it if newer or charge any used now for further testing.

Guess: You mean lights as in "interior" lights or something else - headlights?? Interior lights might be delayed when door opened type thing and possibly when battery is low enough the timer can't even shut off!

Note: Fully discharged batteries take HIT just from being run down when newer and can kill a marginal one. Discharged batteries can also freeze and crack if well below the freezing point of water,

There's no point in testing or checking anything until a known good, fully charged battery is in place. Check the battery if you wish or get a new one and charge it too before installation,
