Could be the voltage regulator on the back of the alternator starting to go (brushes worn down). I was getting this error too until I replaced mine. How many miles on the car?

Did you have anything unusual before you changed battery?

Correct battery used for replacement?

Maybe damaged cable/wires near battery during replacement?
