Battery Saver message on a new battery

[Knacht]

Battery saver mode comes on after 2 weeks of not using the car, whether you have a battery tender hooked up or not. Every Winter when I put my car away, with the battery tender attached, the battery saver mode will appear on my Ford app exactly 2 weeks later. It will stay that way unless I turn on the car again. And after 2 weeks of non-use, battery saver will come on again.

Mine sent me a shutdown message at eight days of no starting.

Dec 2 to Dec 10.

It's on a 3 amp battery tender.

Weather has been awful and the black ice is out.

I just installed a new Odyssey AGM battery in my 2019 GT ~ 3 weeks ago. After I installed it, took the car out for maybe an hour, then put it back into garage and hooked up CTEK MXS 5.0 charger/maintainer. It went throught its paces with charging dtept and has been "all lights on" for the past week or so. Temps in the garage around ~50F and the car has alarm off and the hood is down but unlatched.
Yesterday a "Battery saver mode" message popped up on the Ford app... I am all confused as to why it happened. I did not turn on the car into accessory mode yet to see it any electric stuff works.

Any ideas?

There is nothing wrong. I have my car on a Deltran tender and if I don't use it after about two weeks the car goes into saver mode.

FYI, on Saturday at 11:55am, I got the message on the FordPass app, that my car went into battery saver mode. That is exactly 2 weeks to the hour, after I put the car away for the Winter attached to the battery tender. Like clockwork it goes into saver mode every 14 days if not used.
