Once the battery was replaced, started having problems with radio. When radio is turned on , crackling and popping sounds coming from speakers. ---

My guess-some wire was broken during battery replacement, resulting in intermittent connection. Or a connection is loose somewhere. Check all the wires that were moved around during battery replacement, including the battery cables. The can corrode internally. ---

Wouldnt be the first time a radio has been blown out after changing the battery . ---

If connection between battery and alternator has higher than normal resistance somewhere, this can cause emi from the alternator, and noisy radio audio, especially on the AM band. Make sure that’s a good connection, both for the power and the ground. Since only battery was replaced, common sense says to check the connections at the battery posts first. Perhaps battery posts & connectors were not cleaned with battery tool prior to connecting. ---

I’m thinking about the security code if you have the original radio. Usually that kind won’t work at all if the battery gets disconnected unless you enter the code. ---
