Try an SMC reset and NVRAM reset (links below).

The 2012 and older MacBook Airs will lag when the battery is very low, so this could indicate an issue with the new battery. As long as the fan is not spinning full speed (indicating a sensor issue) it will either be due to low battery or a bad battery.
