Battery

[BigJim]

My view on the instrument cluster shows this:

Have read a lot of issues about the BMS Does any one know what the 14V is measuring, the battery in the hood, the one in the rear seat or both?

I have a MY 2024, Lariat PB with 3K miles. No issues yet with battery (should I say yet?). Ford had a refresh for MY 2024 and not sure if the BMS was changed.

I’m not certain it is reading actual battery voltage, maybe a sensor near the battery.
14v+ is really giving you alternator output.

Most accessories in automotive advertise 12v, but actually are designed to operate at 14.2. Voltage circulating within the truck should be anywhere from 13.8 - 15 on the high end. Both of my old Chevys operate closer to 16.
As soon as you shut the truck off, voltage will drop into the 12s
