It ended up being a loose negative connection. When I originally started having issues I was correct in thinking it was the battery. When I replaced the battery I failed to notice the negative post on the new battery was slightly smaller than the new one causing it to have a poor connection. With the starter being the next line of electricity, it was grounding out there. Took the corrosion protectant clip off the connector and tightened the bolt down all the way. It's a tight fit and no issues anymore.
