However, when I turned the car off and checked the voltage, it was slowly dropping from around 12.30v to about 12.20v and sort of hovered around that. I don't want to leave the new battery one all night incase it gets drained, so i've put the original battery one and its starting reading was 9.03v, i'll check it in the morning and see if that has dropped any more.

Your new battery is showing the symptoms of being dud too, or you bought it in a discharged state. It is way too low.
