"Battery Saver - System Off"
I got a new 2013 SCrew about five weeks ago.
I've been noticing a message on the MFT screen from time to time that says "Battery Saver - System Off" right after I turn the engine off.
I'm thinking this might be an indication that the battery is running low on charge, but wanted to be sure.
I have added a few things to the truck since I got it, them being a radio scanner and amateur radio, but they are only on when the ignition is on.
The last thing is a re-chargeable flashlight and the charger is constant hot.
Any thoughts?

Your thoughts are correct. The truck is disabling the accessory delay relay (which would normally stay open till I believe 30 minutes on new trucks or until you open the door). It is basicaly preventing you to operate several features such as the radio while key is not in engine run mode. But as you figured out, the power points are not on the same circuit and stay power up all times.
