Sometimes you can resolve this issue by doing an SMC reset and a PRAM reset! Also you can try booting into Safe Mode or putting the new battery through a full charge cycle (charge to 100% and then discharge normally). I've had to do this after installing third party batteries before. If the message doesn't go away after taking these steps, then I would recommend trying to return the battery for a refund. Good luck!

Where did you buy the battery?
by Dan
I bought the battery from IFIXIT as I have before with no problems.

@jeffreydm - Install CoconutBattery let’s see what it tells us. Post a snapshot of the Apps main window here so we can see.

Thanks for the recommendation but I won't download anything that doesn't come through the App Store.

@jeffreydm - Then you’ll need to visit an Apple Store. I can tell you I’ve used this app for many years and I run a good set of antivirus and malware on my systems and I’ve never encountered an issue with it. CoconutBattery is a safe app.
I commend you on being safe, but you can also goto far just limiting your self to the Apple Store.
