are you certain the new batteries are really good?

Checked them all out with a voltmeter, first thing.

under load or open circuit voltage?

bad batteries connected to a digital voltmeter may test
fine but still be bad

I've not seen that with alkalines. Lead acid and NiMH
cells are far more likely to read good and be bad. Since
they were new and tested higher than nominal, I very much
doubt that it's a dead battery problem.

Change them out agan and put the issue to bed. Not costly nor time consuming
& takes out some guesswork.
