Battery is getting ready to go.

End of life for the battery. Try charging it and see if the battery will hold a charge.

I have an XL, so I don't have a screen like that. BUT ... I do get FordApp notices saying it's going into deep sleep and disabling remote start and other features.

I've had these messages since I first got my truck just over a year ago but the battery has not died yet.

If you can, I really like using a battery tender on mine and I plug it in a few times a month.

If you were to check battery voltage before starting the truck after it sits overnight, you will most likely see the battery voltage near or below 11.5 volts.
I did an extensive research thread on the charging system.

Other signs that the battery is failing are:
ASS stops working.
Passive Entry stops working - at the Drivers / Passenger Doors
Remote Start - stops working
Deep Sleep - messages from Ford Pass

If you are in the excessive heat wave, note AGM Batteries do not perform well with constant high heat.

Try giving the battery a good charge (external charger) or replace the battery,

Some have disabled the BMS, and it appears to help keep the battery charged better.

Mine did that a lot more when new. It has been a while since I've seen that screen. Mine sort of did the opposite of what it should do; unless it took a really long time to get the battery up to a normal charge after it got off the delivery truck.

Says that when I don't start truck for couple days straight...nothing to worry about...

It could mean nothing as @Msfitoy says above or it could mean what @IdahoRanger says, which could lead to this… ?

While I have not had that screen pop up, My truck did act weird once after not driving it for almost two weeks. A couple of good 1 hours drives took care of things though.

Well Duke, when your transmission shifts hard, it means nothing...you know the rest of my story lol...

Most likely battery is getting weak however if you are using connected data send me your milage and vin and I can try to look into this for you some.

It means you are seeing the effects of a battery and charging system that is set to too low of a charging state by the factory. I used Forscan to reset mine to 90% of potential charge and I have never seen that message again... Factory setting is 75%, way too low.

Had the same thing but the battery was fine. Got a software update from Ford while doing service and the message never came back.

Use the same product on our ranger and bs-ob, one for each and hard wired to battery with external connections. on managements bs I have to loop the wire through the door handle so it’s disconnected before backing out of the garage. Guess we’re getting trained for if we ever go ev ?
