6300 mi Got charging system error, noted bad battery by the "eye" on the battery being black. 
8000 mi Charging system error again. It seems if it sits for a week with no use, the parasitic drain on the battery is high and it gives this error until it has been driven to full charge. The Explorer on the show room floor had the same problem.
