The Honda CR-V is usually reckoned to be an easy-starting reliable vehicle.
It takes much more than a new battery...
In order to start and run an engine needs: -
a good cranking speed,
the right amount of fuel delivered into the combustion chamber at the right time,
good compression,
and a spark sufficient to ignite the fuel at the right time.
It is clear at least one of the requirements is absent and only systematic testing will discover which. The cause could be anything from a poor electrical connection to bad injector spray patterns, one or more tired sensors or even bad intake valve seats.

I bet a vacuum hose got knocked off during the battery swap. Look for any small hoses disconnected. Check near the back of the engine, too. there should be a hose that goes from your brake's master cyclinder to the back of the engine. I suspect that one.

The TDC sensor (aka camshaft position sensor) is located under the same cover as the timing belt. Incidently, the water pump is also driven by the timing belt. The process for replacement of the TDC is not difficult, just involved. Here is a link that I hope you will find helpful; It gives step-by-step instructions with photos on how to change the TDC. This is for a civic, but the setup for the CR-V is essentially the same. If you have high mileage, you will also want to check the condition of the timing belt and water pump while you have everything apart. If you decide to replace the other parts as well, you will need the associated gaskets, timing belt, water pump and belt tensioner. http://www.civicforums.com/forums/7-honda-civic-diys-civic-tech-chat/323984-diy-tdc-sensor-cmp-sensor-replacement-w-pics.html?8caa1db9f40a1e09f200d7c940d8cc64
If your computer will not let you click on the link directly, you can copy and paste it to your address bar.
Good luck and God Bless.
