Starting issue/battery drain

So i bought a 986 on copart dith 45k miles.

Put a new battery in. It started and ran great.

About a month later, i washed it. It got cold overnight and froze.

Next day, i noticed it was dripping. Popped frunk to take a look. The drain got clogged. Filled with water and ice in bsttery bay. I cleared clog.

Ever since, the battery drains and it wont start unless i jump it. Even if i drive it for an hour or more. I turn it off, it wont start unless i jump it agsin. When i jump it, the jumper cables get super warm.

What happened?

Newbie
