That^ but is the battery replaced new and not defective? Trickle charge it to full first or drive the vehicle without ever stopping for at least an hour to help charge the battery.

That is insufficient, you need to drive it for at least an hour or so to charge a battery, especially if it was completely drained. A bad battery (even when new, as in defective) could still cause the issue, check that aux battery as well.

Since you mentioned you only drove it for 25 minutes, that might had further drained the battery, given the starter cranking uses quite a bit of charge of the battery. So the chances of it draining further than before you drove it, is high.

I recommend charging the battery separately using a trickle charger instead now, instead of stressing the alternator.

Aux battery is usually the cause to a failing start/stop alongside 12V starter battery, so fair to say the issue is fixed now? or I understood you incorrectly. If so, please correct me.
