Short answer: Try driving your car for 60 miles to see if the light turns off. Sometimes the car ecu just needs some time to reset itself. If it doesn't shut off, then bring your vehicle to a auto parts store to borrow their OBD-II reader. The reader will give you error code(s) which you can investigate.

Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.
