They are a few reasons your Battery Saver Actice could be coming on.

1st - When you changed the end of the cable did you clean BOTH terminals? Not doing so could give your electronic system a false reading.

2nd- Is the new end that was replaced completely secured?

3rd - If the non replaced end is in need of replacing aswell, your car is letting you know its using more energy than it should(having 1 good and 1 bad cable.). Keep an eye on your battery, until you can replace the other end.
