Sounds like you got a bad battery.
If you have room for two batteries, my opinion is that you install two new deep cycle, both at the same time.
FLA is cheapest & what I use with my 300 watt solar set-up & AIMs inverter.
But many believe in AGM.
As discussed many times on this Forum...if you decide to upgrade to Lithium, you’ll probably need to change-out your WFCO Converter/Charger.
PS-By the way, that NPP is a monster. Weighs 100#
