That's fair, I never had a car with this much telemetry before, so whenever I'd replace batteries it was just put in and go. I'm sure in 4 years when this battery dies, I'll be sure to charge it before putting it in.
Gonna go ahead and post this update. I never charged the battery manually because after about 4 days of daily driving and some highway, the battery charged up with the alternator and the alert cleared.

Not 100% sure, but I think the connectors are all the same, Just shaped differently. My 2015 had the same connectors and button sizes for both 2 button and 1 button layouts.
Hi There, I upgraded the 8" screen on my 2023 F-150 XL Rattler from the 8" to the 12". I found the screen on Ebay and didn't realize there was a difference in Button Layouts for the Platinum's vs the rest of them. Got a great deal on it though. The problem now is I don't have the correct bezel...
