if its happening with-in the 14 day period of non use, and youre driving it frequently, I would say you have a battery issue.
Mine like clock work will activate the battery saver mode exactly on the 14th day of being parked. Its likely more on a clock timer, than the actual state of my battery in my case.
Well i drive it to work mon to thrusday, then little errands here n there during the weekend.

Use remote start nearly every day during winter; lunch during work, before i clodk out, ect. 20+ miles a day. Truck starts fine with key.

What is the difference between an AGM battery and a BAGM battery? My 2019 Ranger has a Motor Craft BAGM battery.

There is no technical difference. BAGM is simply the first 4 digits of the Ford Part number for their Motorcraft AGM battery. My guess is that BAGM is a Ford acronym - Battery - AGM

Later build 2019 with 63k miles here, driven hard and put away wet! On a daily driver basis, lots of traffic stop and go. Stock battery is still running strong, including Auto Stop/Start and the stock 70% target state of charge enabled nearly its entire life until recent Forscan changes.

I am definitely getting the battery tested next time in for an oil change and “The Works”. Lol.

I have one of the '19s that sits more than it's on the road. But when it's driven, it's a long haul. I have a battery tender on it if it sits more than 2 weeks since new. Built in the mid production year and sat in inventory at the dealer only a month before purchase. Original battery, never an issue. Do I trust it? Hell no. Carry a jump start wherever I go.

Has anyone had their battery die from normal use yet on any 2019's?
Have a 2019, and am still on the original battery. Have had the same thought and am watching it closely. I just drove my truck today after having been sitting for three weeks, and noticed that the auto-stop-start didn't shut it down until I was done with most of my errands, suggesting that it was taking longer than usual to get back to a full charge.

I have a 21 XLT FX4
My youngest son sits in my truck after school and does his homework, dog watches him and seems to enjoy it too, so the lights and radio stay on every day, he says its nice and peaceful, and since his homework gets done without argument I will not say anything about it LOL the other day I started to notice signs like the message on the radio about start your truck and in Ford Pass App that remote starting has been turned off for some reason, all the classic signs some guys here have reported as the start of the battery going bad, I am thinking about just putting a tender on it once a week to get a little more out of it, seeing these 850CCA AGM batt are not cheap $175 at WalFart :(
I have a new 1000 CCA Marine battery I could replace it with but not knowing how the truck would react to that LOL

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?
Mine was 23 months old when it died. But the truck did sit at the dealership for a couple of months before I bought it. Probably contributed to the early death. I've had OEM batteries last as much as 9 years.

2020 in Central Florida is on the original battery. 29K miles. No signs that I can tell of it giving up the ghost yet.
lol, here I am to say that not a week after this comment, my battery quickly decided to stop working. So mine lasted about 33 months from purchase.
