I had the same thing happen to me, but I didnt have to prime anything. I was coming home from a 2 hr highway drive, towing a light trailer, I was in town, slowing down to make a turn, and the engine just died, same 'battery not charging" message, I was able to just let it coast into a parking lot, stopped, put it in park, cycled key off, then it started right up like nothing was wrong. I too, am running the edge chip. so far, I love it, but this has me a little concerned. I have heard through the rumor mill that edge did have some issues, but they were real good about switching out the unit. mines new enough that the module has the plug (not the long tail to the main large plugs)

I have a decent mechanical background, and nothing behaved like it would be related to a bad battery. the "battery not charging" message came on only after the engine died, so that would make sense that it's not getting any charge from the alternator, but there is plenty of juice to run the trucks computer systems so the message center displays that message. the battery not charging should not cause the engine to die. the message came on because the engine died, not the other way around.

it's only happened once, and I have had the truck for 4K miles (75K total) before I put the edge on, without any problems. Right now, the story points to the Edge unit, but im open to suggestions and ideas.
