Had a new battery installed. Now the van stalled at a stop sign, after the van started and stalled at the next stop light. Why is this happening?

Hi Anita,
When a battery is first replaced, there can be a relearn period that the computer goes through that can cause drivability issues. However, that shouldn't last an extended period of time. How long has it been since the battery was replaced?
Also, if you look below, I attached a pic of the battery and cables. In addition to the battery cables, make sure the other two I highlighted are tight, clean, and not damaged.
Let me know.
