Charging system service soon!

[dadrew]

Second time this month I have gotten this message saying charging system service soon!

No check engine light or noti in FordPass

I have had these little gremlins popping up here and there, doesn’t seem to effect anything. I’ve had random wait for fuel door to open messages while driving.

I’m at 87k miles, and starting to get worried this is the start of something more. Do I take it in and have them check the hybrid battery?
To note I have replaced both the H7 battery and 12v battery within the last year

I was getting this and it ended up a poor connection to the 12v aux battery (loose?). Reconnected that battery and tightened it down and it has been fine ever since.

I'll take a look thanks for the advice

I'm only at 2600 miles and I've been getting it intermittently. I called the dealer and was told, "It's fine, just let the battery rest," whatever the F*** that means. So I called again, and a different service advisor told me to get it in ASAP. I'll check battery connections and go from there.

I've had that message now for a couple months on my 2021. Had it in for a dealer service and they couldn't get it turned of either. When it first started, I replaced my original battery. I tried the factory process to turn it off. Worked very temporarily then came back on. I saw something on a post to charge the battery with the ground connected at the body ground terminal rather on the battery. I guess the the battery should sense that it has a full charge.
