i have had a forum search and some say that the low battery message goes away after a few days , others mention a dashcam could be draining he battery..
not fitting the correct type of battery or a faulty battery management system {BMS] are other suggestions... ... - .- -.

What batteries have you fitted? When running, you say its 13.5v? Is this running without any vehicle electrics switched on? Like heated screens, blowers, lights & seats etc... With that little lot on, she should still achieve 14-14.4v sir...

Take the batteries back to be tested ?

If they are OK, sounds like maybe an alternator fault ?

subbed. I've been getting low battery start vehicle errors when I shut off the car/enter. Seems to start when the temp gets very cold (below freezing). Debating getting a new battery....but interested to see if something else fixes your issue.

Vehicle starts up no problem every time. Interior lights won't light up when opening the door etc (i guess the brain tells it to do this b/c of the error). I see a replacement battery plus reg being a simple yet costly repair (for what it is) at the dealer. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Get the batteries tested first - even a new one can be faulty
