I have a 2003 and experienced similar problems. Usually when I started it in the monring or after work (when vehicle was cold), I would get the Battery Not Charging, but after about 10 minutes, it would go away and the amp gauge would be normal. I had everything tested multiple times (of course when the vehicle was warmed up)

Finally, I gave it to the dealership AGAIN, explained everything about the early morning startup and the after work startup.
They let it sit overnight and then started it up. SURE ENOUGH, it thru the Battery Not Charging error and displayed the code in the computer that exposed the problem.

THE ALTERNATOR!!

Some type of "2 phase" alternator that seemed to kick-in after it got warmed up.

REPLACED IT and haven't had a problem since.

I hope my experience issue helps with yours.

The ONLY time I get this message is if I let my truck sit with the key in the ingition with all the systems technically powered on but the truck not running. I just figured the battery was draining down a bit. The second I turn the rig on the message goes away. If I start it up right away the message doesn't show up. hmmmm
