1997-1998 Isuzu rodeo won't start

This morning when I went to start my car up it wouldn't start. When I put the key in it seems to have power but when I turn it all the way to START it loses all power.
Its not the battery because I just bought a new one thinking it was the battery,
I don't know much if anything at all about cars. What could it be ?
Any help is appreciated

sounds like a dead/undercharged battery.
maybe the issue was the charging system - and replacing battery did not correct issue.
check all battery connections then Recharge battery and check charging system.

I don't know if the battery is dead since its brand new. Paid 100$ for it. When I open the door the dome light comes on, when I insert the key and turn it once the radio comes on but once I move it all the way it loses all power
How do I check the charging system? Not sure ewhere that's located
**Also I made sure the batter was well connected, its tight and secure

New isn't charged fully but should start if all else is fine OR really could be dead + new - junk. It happens.
Check with at least a voltmeter at posts then "U" clamps when starter is requested and my bet is you'll see it loses total connection at one of them but both are highly suspect. If absolutely not there then the other ends of the battery cables - both,

YOU AREN'T COVINCING ME that this battery is good yet. Lights working mean little. Starter takes a wild amount of power in comparison.
If improper power or state of charge it wont crank and odd noises can happen and so on. Until know power in this case battery is charged and known good is blind guessing. This vehicle would take a jump start most likely and either not work again later or be done with it if no testing tools or separate charger.
Nobody does it - stores don't but a new battery should be charged and checked BEFORE installing!
Think of this: A car has just been parked but was fine a year ago and now doesn't start? Gee - no shat. That battery could have sat that long - same problem,

(thought I said batteries are marked how old they are on them in code or obvious. More than a few months the fail rate skyrockets)

What is the voltage on the battery posts when your attempting to crank the engine?
