Your initial post didn't mention jumping the car, only re-charging. However since PCM is still under warranty you should fight the charges, although you may have to pay dealer first and fight Ford later.

Make sure you recover old PCM since there is a chance dealer is wrong and that it's only key programming problem and not fried PCM.
