1998 S70 won't start S70 1998

Perfect example why auto makers should include volt meters in the dash.
Put a digital Volt meter (14 bucks at Radio Shack) across both battery terminals
and check voltage. I'm only guessing, but look for approx. 13.5 volts. If you
got that then have the battery load tested (was the second battery new?) Failing that, trace the hot wire (positive) from the battery terminal down to the
starter providing the starter solinode is down at the starter. I've only had
my 98 S70 a few weeks and happily haven't had to investigate that. I'm sure
I will one day.
