I don't accidently live in the south
Would you mind sharing what brand battery you bought and where ? I’m giving the stealership one more chance to make it right with all the battery saving mode error codes i’ve been having with my ‘21 XLT FX4 EB for the past 6 months. ThxPicked up a H8 battery today, it's on charge right now, Canada Proof with 60 month free replacement warranty. I've tried two H6 batteries, the stock battery and a friends few month old battery and neither have held up. I keep getting shutting down to safe battery errors.
First truck I've ever had that is so hard on batteries! Way more bells, whistles and electronic gadgetry in this Lariat than any of the previous trucks I've had.
The battery is a Canadian Energy Brand and is labelled as Canada Proof AGM. I purchased it from one of the local Jobber parts stores that I deal with located here in Nelson. They had it in stock.
Thank you sir.. will see what Ford says, if they’re not going to replace it, i’ll look into NAPA or your brand .The battery is a Canadian Energy Brand and is labelled as Canada Proof AGM.

Walmart had no stock of anything bigger than the H6, and I really do not trust Cambodian Tire batteries so it was this one or NAPA.
I have a 21 EB Lariat as well. Same as you I was having a problem with my H6 Batt and while at the dealer weeks ago for other issues and I brought up the batt issues. Showed them the same report you have there. They ran their test and said nothing they could do and it was fine to put H6 in our trucks. Said Ford would not replace it. So I told them to put the H7 in anyway and Ill pay.I’m having intermittent battery drain/SoC issues on my ’21 Lariat 3.5eb such as low power mode and auto stop/start no working "System on due to vehicle charging". 20k miles so rather low by comparison to others on here I suppose. Truck at dealer now for other issues (DRLs - not headlamps - go on and off when truck is off, recalls, etc.) but I’ve asked them to test battery. They said its ‘fine’ like they always seem to tell people on here.
However more research on the eSourceBook for 2021 details Lariat’s and above should be built with larger alternators and the H7 (800 CCA) battery. I plan to confirm with dealer that if the OEM battery currently in the truck is H6, I’m requesting a swap out to the correct battery per Ford’s own spec sheets to H7. Found this interesting information especially given the battery shortages of 2020-2021 – Ford was likely putting whatever they had in there and sending trucks on their way
