I've got brand new terminals too so it's something else. I've even driven it around a little bit so it can charge up but still nothing.
Your alternator or a Voltage regulator? Take the car to an autozone and have them test the alternator. It should charge at 13.5 to 14.5 to insure your battery stays charged. Also maybe the battery has a dead cell. I had a battery that actually charged above 12 and when it was tested it had a dead cell in it. Its quite possible its the battery.
