funny enough learnt that lesson some years back, fitted a new battery thinking that would resolve the issue, checked it and was at 12 Vdc , so indeed from then on always charged them before hand , plus on mine I always charge mine via the 12s towing socket , so much easier than messing around as don’t have to lift the bonnet , lol
My ADHD killed my D3. I’m firmly in the dog house. Helps

How much is the voltage with igntion on with the new battery?
If it 12.9 after standing all night then its defo fecked, weird high voltages are as bad as low voltages, but you do need a multimeter to check these things.
D3 ign on but engine off, interior lights and dash on you are a brave mad to leave it even as long as 30 minutes tops before you have a potential no start situation, lots of modern cars are like this, real battery hungry.
The yuasa are good, my last one lasted 3 yrs, changed by halfords under warranty at no cost to me, the previous utter dog**** exide was dead at 18mths.
Sometimes you can strike lucky and recover a discharged battery, other times you are out of luck.
plus 1 what’s been mentioned ref what’s the new batteries voltage plse
also has the red alarm light stopped flashing
