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?
