2016 Superduty trucks don’t have BMS, only the F150 had BMS in this year.

Yep you shouldn't have BMS (and hopefully not IBS!) so as God intended, just install a new battery(ies) and go

I'm not sure about your message but these trucks have an EXTENSIVE history of the batt light from a failing alternator. Note they'll still charge but something -- presumably the regulator? -- isn't whispering sweet nothings to the PCM, triggering a light. Aftermarket alternators perpetuate the problem and many a batt light has been eliminated by using OEM (even used).

That said, don't go buy an alternator based upon my anecdotal statements. More diag should be performed before spending a dime on parts.
