What are my options for "Battery Saver message" problem. Have had two batteries replaced already in three years of ownership. Latest visit to dealership, service associate says battery checks good, they said they ran intensive test on battery. They told me to do not use my usb port with thumb drive for music and see how it does, This does not work still getting message every time I shut off vehicle. The last time battery was replaced solved problem for about 14 months each time. Must be something in the charging system software or possibly poor battery choice for this vehicle. ANYONE have this problem solved??? Ford seems to have no fix for this. I'm up to date on all TSB's on vehicle. At a loss on this. Car runs great and great mpg, but this issue is annoying and needs a fix...

Installed the updated Air Intake w/Resonator two weeks, seems to reduce almost eliminate that deep growl sound from engine when you start to accelerate with the ICE. good mod, makes for more pleasant ride....

My numbers from dash display holding up with Fuelly numbers, I guess time will till if PCM update and 12v battery reset is working for better efficiency of using EV and ICE.....
-
Could my numbers have something to do with PCM update and changing out 12v battery at same time which caused some electrical systems to RESET....

On board display is where I got numbers....

Had PCM Software upgrade 14E02 done in late January 2015, noticed an increase in the efficiency of way the EV mode was being utilized which gave an increase in MPG. However this last weekend in taking a trip to Austin and back from Dallas(480 miles), it is now very apparent the software upgrade has given an increase of at least 8%, the round trip MPG was about 47.1 Previously, on a road trip averaging 73 MPH, I was lucky to get about 43.5 MPG. Very pleased, Just a note when the 14E02 upgrade was done, Ford Service also changed out my 12V battery, which apparently reset my EV+ points and maybe other parameters which could have contributed to the increased efficiency how the EV mode is being utilized....Battery was changed out because of the "battery saver mode" issue which I was having...

Thanks for reply, but I will pass on hooking up charger to battery, Have problem when a fairly new car cannot maintain strength in battery to operate properly, Vehicle is driven enough in order to charge battery adequately. Ford Service battery tests indicated a bad battery not a low battery,

Ford service did replace my old BXT 99R390 12v battery(installed in Feb 2014, failed in January 2015) with a BXT99RT4 12v battery, I check my service copies.. I guess I will till in about 11 months if the new part solves the "Battery Saver Message" issue which I've had.....

I will have to check to see what is part number of battery Ford service installed today,, maybe the part BXT99RT4 more durable battery than the original...

I thought I had my "battery saver message" was solved last February with new 12v battery replacement. Well I thought wrong!!!!. Message started reappearing about 2 weeks ago.. took 2013 FFH for routine Ford service and asked service rep to have battery checked... They checked it proved bad, had it replaced no cost. but is sure a pain to have battery replaced yearly, must be some issue in charging system rather than a bad batch of batteries at factory when Dec 2012 vehicles were built...................by the way I had the 'battery saver message" TSB done also prior to having battery replaced last year....
