Make sure you used the recommended battery size. Also, check the distilled water level inside the battery to ensure it is up to maximum level.

If this is all good, you probably just need to reset the computer. This can sometimes be a little tricky depending on your vehicle so I would suggest calling your local dealer to get instructions on how to do this.
