AirStrike Donating Members 387 Member For: 16y 6m 18d Gender: Male Posted 07/08/11 11:56 PM Share Posted 07/08/11 11:56 PM Hey just wondering what battery the G6ET should have? Mine is a 430CCA, my uncle works for Ford and thought that the G6ET should have a battery with more CCA's, the 430CCA being used in the XT.Came out this morning to a partially flat battery so it wouldn't start.

Pretty sure I've got 550 or more CCA can't remember.

After around 15mins the car switches power off to the seat, if the switch sticks the seat remains powered.

Not sure if its common but over night that would probably drain your battery.
