[QUOTE="Tibi Steri, post: 1647162, member: 47404"] ...You need to reset BMS as the truck has to learn that you installed a new battery or else charging will be happening using wrong parameters based on your old battery (not doing it will cause various issues if BMS is enabled, BMS actually knows the age of your battery in days and various other parameters). Your service dealer can do that for you or you can DYI (using Forscan & OBD2 scanner Forscan compatible and a Windows laptop - really long story here but it could be worth going this route if you are the DYI type) In my opinion you gave up a bit too fast on your old battery (the average AGM lifespan is 5 years and seems that they can go for 8 years if properly maintained). Anyway, is nothing wrong with getting a new battery. :) Ford has a "smart" charging system and they do recommend getting replacement batteries similar with the original or the system parameters will need to be reconfigured to work with the new battery type. I assume your truck had an AGM Motorcraft battery (depends on the options you got).
