My 2019 is sitting at little above 15k miles.

The Auto start/stop has'nt worked for the past year or so. I get the message on the display "shutting down to preserve battery".

But she can still sit for a week and still start up just fine.

Confused.

I bought a bargain Weize AGM battery for $126. I upsized to the Lariet battery size, and bought the larger Lariet battery cover.

I will wait for the original battery to totally die before installing the new battery.

In my experience they're on borrowed time after three years.

Replaced my June purchased 2019 at 40 months. Auto stop and keyless entry stopped working. New Interstate and all good.

Now into year 5 on the original in my 2019 Lariat. It doesn't get driven much this time of year, so I wasn't surprised that the auto-stop wasn't working on my round of errands last week until just before returning home. (One of the errands was replacing the original Hankook tires) It will get driven more once ski season starts and we'll see if I get another year out of it.

With modern electronics better safe (early) than sorry. My ancient Pontiac van bought used, and the battery hidden behind a big round structural tube died at 7 years!!!!
The oil change place told me my wife’s 2017 Buick battery did not test good. I forgot all about it, and it died a month later, fortunately in the driveway!!!

I have a 2019, over the weekend helped someone out with a dead battery. It got me thinking if I should be looking at replacing mine as it is the original. I'd rather be proactive than the truck not starting in some random parking lot.

Has anyone had their battery die from normal use yet on any 2019's?

I have a 2019. I replaced one of my 12 volt sockets with a USB A and C charger with a built in voltmeter. Glad I did that because I can keep track of the battery status. It was showing 11.9 volts. Replaced the battery and now I have 12.6volts

That sounds very intriguing and Id like to see a photo of your modification if you don’t mind.

Had my battery replaced under warranty. 2022 XLT Tremor with 15.7K. Had been getting the Ford Pass app alerts off and on. Never had a problem starting or any other issues. Monitored voltage via OBD scanner and it was charging fine but never getting above 12.1 volts. Was running about 11.1-11.5 volts key on cold and would drop down to 9.6-10.0 volts cold cranking. Dealer did a warranty battery test and said it was low but not enough to replace it. They said they would do a charge on it if I wanted to wait another 35 minutes. I said go for it. Service advisor came back after about a half hour and said the battery failed the charge and they were putting a new one in under warranty.

Purchased my truck with less than 100 miles on 22 April 2019 and just started getting notices relating to the battery. So, 4.5 years and 60k miles here. I bought a new battery and just need to muster up the motivation to toss it in when I have some free time.

Thank you, I like that product! I’m assuming your camera didn’t capture the battery voltage level possibly from a slow display refresh speed. I can see the “V” on the face where it appears as tho it would display the voltage but isn’t visible.
Where might one get that product, amazon no doubt and how difficult was the install?

average life? Horrific. first lasted 23 months, second is already disabling A-S-S in 50 degree weather at 12 months age. Pathetic.

I don't have a 2019, I have a 2020 and my original battery lasted about 2 years. It was replaced under warranty. Didn't last long at all.

2019 LARIAT here with low mileage (13K). only issue so fr is that intelligent access sometimes works only on the drivers door. Been reading on this forum that that's one of the 1st symptoms of the battery going south.

what is intelligent access?
