I believe it’s just a ForScan change.

I dont bother anymore with the Forscan change from flooded to AGM. I see no difference now after two Ford trucks. Other brand vehicles I just plop in the AGM and 10 years later everything is still good.

Same. I dropped a couple AGMs in my 2018 and didn’t make any changes. Doing just fine over 4 years later.

That aught to work, since the chemical nature of the battery is the same.

Go to BCM module in plain English, battery technology and select it. Change it to AGM and write it

It's been 2 years now since I put AGM's in my 2019 F350. I didn't do anything.
