Wont start after 24 hours of not using

Asked by Atom Nov 07, 2018 at 06:53 PM about the 2013 Ford F-150 STX 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

If I start the truck everyday it is fine, if I go typically more then 24 hours I need to jump it to start. As soon as the charger is on it, it will start up right away.  Electrical light/battery light has been on since this issue has been happening.  Battery is new, no other outstanding issues.  Any ideas?

Nine times out of ten when battery light comes on the alternator is bad.
