Electrical battery issue or what?

[Beinkounter]

Ohhhhh kkkk, Got it! Thanks. that happens to mine if i work w the doors open (Vacuum out mats) for a bit and just park it.. Not even 3 days..

Yes, I think that's a sign. The battery won't hold a charge, which means it's time for a new one. I splurged and got an Optima yellow top. A bit more expensive but had great reviews. This was about 6 months ago. So far, I am happy with it. I have a dash cam connected to the ODB port which draws power after the car is turned off, and so far no issues and I don't get those annoying messages anymore.

I don't know if this is related or not, however, I started having weird electrical gremlins with my 2022 with 18K miles about a month ago. I checked the battery voltage after driving and it was at 12.1-12.2 volts with the engine off. (Should be at least 12.6) I took it to the dealership. They tested the battery and it wasn't up to par so they replaced it free under warranty.
The issues I was having were odd. SO here's are a few.
The door locks at times wouldn't work. Sometimes they were normal
The radio would turn off after shutting the truck down (before opening the door)
Interior lights wouldn't come on when opening the door (they were turned on)
A screen would pop up occasionally when I shut the engine down saying something to the effect that the truck was going to limit power use in order to preserve the battery.

The new battery took care of all the issues.

Thanks for reply. What is the anti pinch protocol??
Thanks Anthony

shit..... i know you have to roll it all the way down and continue holding down for 3 seconds then roll it all the way up and hold for 3 seconds. i think you have to do it a second time as well

Thanks for reply! I hate electrical gremlins caused by low voltage. Its insane. Had the stupid message again this morning along with a really slow ford performance start up screen, it was spazzy and half was only displayed. Im going to get a battery and call it a day! Id like to take to dealer and have them check out but that will take forever and time is not in my favor w my work schedule. So i will eat the cost, sadly. The damn battery in these trucks shouldnt be going out in less than 2 years, its a joke!!!!!
Thanks Anthony

I was having the same issue (truck is mainly used for short commuting). I put an oddssey battery in it and have never had an issue since.

I was also having the same issue with my truck, installed a DieHard Platinum AGM Battery: H8 and all gremlins are gone.
