Also doesn't hurt to check for battery drain, FG's do draw a bit of current for a short while after locking, but will settle down. Anything higher than ~100mA after 15 mins needs checking out. 20-30 mins daily should be fine if charge rate and drain are ok.

Check ya battery?! Expand Yep checked battery, not the cause. On 13/02/2019 at 9:32 AM, masda74 said: so the car hit 112000km last week. what really got me this week was the battery finally gave up. Had to go and get another Century 67EFMF from Supercheap. The last I remember, I got one for $189. Inflation seems to be rising higher than my pay rise. New price of battery is $235. like wtf. Car now cranks over first time every time. only issue that I am still facing now is that the aircon doesn't always work. Every so often I will turn the aircon on and only hot air comes out. I have to pull over and stop. Turn the car off. wait a bit start car and then I get cold air. like wtf? does this mean that it needs to be re gassed? also the cold air doesn't come out as cold as it used to. Expand My BF does this, but I only have to pull over and let it idle to make the AC turn on then it's fine but it never cuts out. Just stalls when slowing down sometimes.

I NEVER use a Century battery ever after coming to this conclusion true story is true Expand Wish I had known this before. I thought they were a good battery cause of the 620CCA and how it turns the falcon over pretty well. Did try a supercheap battery when first replacing the original battery and had to take it back cause it was 420CCA and would not crank over the next morning for some reason. I would go the optima, but securing it would be my biggest concern. would I be able to do it???? @JETURBO what battery do you recommend to use then?

I Get them from Sprint auto parts but I think they’re a SA company only 🤔 its around $170-$200 depending on sales etc etc and never had one fall over ever Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86850-fg-xr6t-going-in-for-mods-and-tune-soon/page/22/#findComment-1680689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check supercheap site and did enter 630CCA batteries and they only show the century stuff. Staying away from them from now on. Too late to change now. I checked the Exide site and their store locator is I <3 Bananased. When I clicked on contact us, it showed some addresses. I will find a store locally. Thanks again for the information.
