Electrical battery issue or what?

[Donmatteo]

I'm going to go get a new H8 if it happens again.

I do see the amps at 14, 14.5 and even 15 some times.

I think these batteries are shot in these trucks. I plan on buying a new battery for the summer and I will report back to FRF if I no longer get these messages after letting the truck sit for a day or two. We should not be seeing this message. A good AGM battery can sit for a week without throwing this message.

I agree with you 1000%, never heard of battery not getting charged enough before.. As long as the Alternator is hi performance it shouldnt be an issue. It is sad that is happening..

Ive also been noticing that if i clean interior and leave doors open a bit, the day before without going for drive or let idle and rev to 1500rpms, i get these messages.. Im starting to remember now lol

That’s the cause right there. Short trips like that will not recharge the battery and are not enough to offset the draw. I have the same issue. Grab a battery tender and give it a full charge 1x a month.

is there a special battery tender i need for these AGM batteries?? I have the DELRAN Battery tender...

Yes, there are specific chargers for AGM (as well as lithium, acid,etc). I have a Noco Genius 10, it has settings for most types of batteries as well as 12v and 6v.

I do the 1x a month maintenance charge and then will also charge it if I’ve been leaving the doors open while working on / cleaning the truck. As you’ve noticed, opening and closing the doors or leaving them open for extended amounts of time seems to also drain the battery.

Hi guys,

2022 raptor here w 26k on odometer. Got this message via ford app about 4x since owning this truck, Got back in Feb. Truck starts, via remotely no issues. What's the deal?? Is battery going or electrical gremlins via F150 raptor? Please let me know. Is this a common issue w these trucks?

Thanks Anthony

This has been covered extensively here:

Battery issue, Charging issue or BMS issue?

So a while ago I noticed that my Auto stop start was no longer working. Took it to ford, they tested my battery and replaced it. Stating it failed a rotunda test. Fast forward today and i'm seeing the same issues. With the battery being only 2 months old I was reluctant to blame the battery but...

I had the usual message on my app every couple days of not driving my truck as I have a company supplied work van.
I unplugged my dash camera for the heck of it and never saw the message for a full work week so I installed a dedicated battery for the dash camera and now I have yet to see the message.
Also if you go on real short trips the battery management does not allow the battery to recharge fully.
