2021 Ford F150 hybrid getting a service charging system light message.I thought I might need to replace the battery which I did at no cost to me but message is still showing up. It seems to be running fine but I don’t want to get stranded. Any info on what this this message means would be appreciated.

I think that message means “take it to a mechanic.”

Then you should have the truck checked by a qualified mechanic.
Many indy shops will be comfortable with working on a hybrid, but some others might not be, and it’s possible that this will need to be attended to by a Ford dealership’s service department.
Do you have access to a scanner? If so, plug it into the OBD-II port and record the codes. Take a picture with your phone if you like. Post the codes here and maybe we can help you sort it out.
Don’t tell the shop that you think you know what the problem is. Use any information you get here to form questions that will help you understand the diagnosis. It’s OK to tell the shop you aren’t familiar with cars and trucks. A good shop will appreciate your honesty and will take the time to explain the issue to you.

Done Nader warranty by the dealership? Then take the truck back, seems to me they did not do an adequate diagnosis.
