I have the 2025 6.8 with 1,250 miles and the message has shown up twice but still turned over. It was sitting about 10 to fifteen minutes before I restarted it. Did you try to restart it right after shutting it down or some time after?

The low voltage was likely the cause. The BMS selectively shuts things off when the voltage drops to certain levels.

That's what you need to check... is there a parasitic drain that killed the battery?

We see lots of bad batteries, I wouldn't sweat worrying about any other fault. Your symptoms are the usual ones. Remember, the battery is under your 3/36 warranty as well.

True. However, even a Ford Quick Lane should be able to handle writing a warranty RO and using the Rotunda machine to test the battery. And roadside assistance can come for a jump or even mobile service if your local dealer offers it. I'll have to look at the mobile van battery tester and see if it provides the necessary codes for warranty replacement.

With all the electronics these days, I've gone to a routine of charging our vehicles' batteries periodically. It seems our vics are always "awake" and never truly shut completely down. Won't necessarily fix a bad battery, but it will keep a battery healthy longer.

Good idea may start doing that. My daughters Ranger is always making weird noises when its just sitting there.
