Sounds like the battery charge is still low. Are you sure the battery took the charge?

Two most common causes are low voltage and an aftermarket stereo........

Think it took a charge...it fired right up on second rotation. And I have a factory stereo. Gauges all read normal. I just never seen anything but the fuel economy there.

I wouldn't worry about it short term, drive it for awhile and see if it goes off...9 times out of 10 it means the battery is weak, but after driving and letting the alternator top of the battery it might clear itself.

Could be an internal short in the battery as well. Make sure its fully charged. If you see Sys again pull it an have it load tested. If it fails time for a new battery.
