Cold weather starting.....

I just went out to try to start my SD, it's cold, maybe -11C with a windchill of -17C and it turned over twice and killed a brand new battery. I didn't have it plugged in. I know I should have, but, the two turns and dead, is that a result of low compression or is my 15W40 too thick at that temp to allow the engine to turn over easily?
