Default Mystery Battery Light on 2014 fx4

Hey guys, I have a 2014 FX4 5.0, today I installed a K&N Cold Air Intake and Roush exhaust system. I had it out driving around and was getting on her quite a bit and all of a sudden the battery warning light came on. I removed the negative battery terminal and gave it a few minutes to reset and after starting the truck back up it came back on. I didn't touch anything with the battery today until the light came on. I went to a local parts store and head them test the battery and it shows a good battery both with the starting test and discharge/recharge test. I can't for the life of me think of why the light is on.. any techs that can help. I did recheck all connections and everything is tight.. and it didn't come on during normal driving... just when I was getting on her and now it's on all of the time since... please help

Your truck is still under warranty, take it in to a dealer and stop guessing.
