How long were you cranking the engine over? Max time is 30 sec with a full 2 min wait between attempts to let the starter cool down.
My rule of thumb is if a gasser hasn't started within 15 sec it isn't going to start, diesels I'll go the 30 sec. There is a bunch of current running through a starter when cranking, the brushes will heat to a very high temp.

Lower voltage at the battery will cause the starter to draw more amps than what the system is designed to handle. The key thing is how long are you cranking it?
If you have a meter read the battery voltage on the battery posts - not the clamps.
Battery State of Charge:
12.6 = 100%
12.4 = 75%
12.2 = 50%
12.0 = 25%
You can crank and start at a lower voltage but the amp draw will increase.
