FordPass disabling functions because of low battery

[HeyBales]

The dealer didn't specify which battery. My mind just went to the hybrid. It all makes sense now.

The dealer didn't mention which battery. My mind just went to the hybrid. It all makes sense now. Someone above mentioned an AGM battery. I will talk to my dealer about that.
Thank you.

Don't waste your time. You are nowhere near the level of many others that have been refused even a new battery, never mind a non-official AGM.

My 2024 AWD Ecoboost Lariat came with a FoMoCo AGM battery.
Mine sat two weeks due to bad weather.
I did not turn any features off.
It held just fine. After the two weeks my at rest VDC was 12.45

This is Ford Pass' way of saying "welcome to the club".

Your dealer should have checked the battery before delivery. A fully charged battery should be at about 12.6v. Short trips will likely not get the battery fully charged, but may get it to the minimum charge level. Highway trips may not get the battery fully charged either. I would suggest getting a voltmeter and doing a bit of monitoring of the voltage. I would also suggest using a battery charger to fully charge the battery to see if the battery will maintain a reasonable state of charge or slowly degrade again to where your state of charge leads to sleep mode and turning off 'features'.
My guess is the BMS - Battery Management System - is allowing the battery to only charge to a minimal level in normal use, leaving little capacity for those times when short trips are common.

Well, last week in anticipation of taking my truck in for the rear camera recall I replaced fuse 11/12.
Today when I opened the driver's door NO INTERIOR LIGHT.
I had drove the truck 60 miles yesterday!!
Last September, I removed fuse 11 charged my battery, did the reset and hadn't an incidents of No Interior Lights.
