If the problem started right after the battery was replaced? My thinking is the security system lost battery voltage and that caused the problem. I don't know if reprograming would fix the issue? I can't see anything from here, I can't do any testing, it's just my opinion. I would say the dealership knows all this? They probably won't try to fix it for free. Some makes and models, you can replace battery or cables and no problems. Other times, there are all kinds of issues because systems lost battery voltage. Sometimes, I tell people to use a battery tender or something, so that different systems/modules won't lose all voltage, in order to try to prevent problems. Like I said, I can't see anything from here, this is just my opinion. I suppose there could be other issues?
