Electrical loss after battery replacement

I just replaced the battery in my l400 super exceed gasser, and it was working like a dream for 2 short trips (to and from the gas station) and started up instantly. Then when I parked it back in it’s spot, and tried to turn it on for a third time, it seems like a fuse was blown as all lights on the dashboard instantly turned off when I turned the key. The electrical came back to life once, but the same thing happened when I turned the key, and now the electrical won’t turn on at all. Worth noting I did increase the CCA on my battery when I replaced it (650 to 710) and I replaced the low beams with 9003 55w halogen bulbs once it was parked before I lost electrical. I’ve checked the two fuses attached to the positive terminal of the battery and they both seem to be intact, any suggestions as to what the issue would be? TIA
 
You probably started here, but I'd check the battery clamps are still tight and not broken, especially the earth clamp.
 
Ground clamp was in fact loose, bent a little piece of metal to fill the space and seems to be secure. Don’t know how I didn’t notice it right away lol
