I think it is overcharging voltage, too low capacity, and the parasitic drain. Mine charges at 15.4V which is more than any of my battery charges for a flooded battery. the AGMs charge at a higher voltage but still not 15.4v.
Huh? Do you have a bad dealer? The date of vehicle manufacture is when the 3/36 bumper-to-bumper warranty starts, not the battery manufacturing date. It sounds like your dealer owes you $300.
Well that sucks,I'd be contacting someone at Ford. Every part on that trucks should be covered for 3 years from the date of purchase , with the exception of the tires,I believe they have their own warranty.

I find it amazing that, nowadays, a Roadside Assistance guy didn't even have a Jump Box on board.I joined the dead battery club today!
No problems this winter with sleep mode or anything but it just died this morning as I tried to start it up. Odd messages on the dash, lights flashing, and then nothing. I uncovered the battery under the back seat and removed the negative cable for a few minutes to see if that would reset something but no help. It was completely dead.
Accessed Ford Roadside Assistance via the FordPass app. They sent someone out but were unable to help since the truck was nose-in to the garage and he couldn't get it into neutral with no power (the alleged park release cord under the console is not there) and he didn't have a jumper cable long enough to reach into the garage. So he left and I called for another Roadside Assistance provider.
In the meantime, I went to O'Reilly's and got one of those battery power pack units. I connected it to the battery and everything started working. I was even able to drive it to the dealer where they are going to replace the battery under warranty. They brought me home and I should be able to get the truck back tomorrow.
Luckily, never had to use mine on my truck. But I've jumped several other vehicles with it. So much safer & easier than trying to line up two vehicles to get jumper cables close enough to reach both batteries.He said it had been stolen but he hadn't replaced it.
At least I have one now!
SO I just went through this today. I didn't see when you took procession of your vehicle, I got mine on 12/27/21 so I was over by about 2 months. My dealer service manager also said that the battery going out is not related to the recall. I intend to keep up with the recall and the class action lawsuit. I had the mobile unit from the dealership come to my house and replace the battery, it cost me $380, of that was $120 labor misc. mystery fees and taxes.
