Does anyone know the Cold Cranking Amp for OEM nissan battery for our sedan?

Right now I have MAXX 35-N battery from Wal Mart, it say 640 Cold Cranking amp.
It having problem turning on all HID in lowbeam/foglights because the hid kits is 55w kit.
55wattage kit actually draw alot of power from car battery at the start up.
It never had problem when I had OEM nissan battery, till now Maxx battery is probably
the problem that my hid bulbs won't turn on because of Maxx battery have low cold
cranking power maybe... I am curious about how much cold cranking amp OEM
factory battery have.

Question is, I wonder if the OEM nissan battery have higher Cold Cranking Amp than MAXX battery 640 Cold Cranking amp??

I am currently running new hid bulbs along with old ballasts in lowbeam and foglights.

a low battery isnt going to cause your HID's to not turn on. once your car is on it runs off the alternator. the 640 CCA's is the minimum amps the battery puts out when you fire it up. it actually puts out 700-800 cca's if its good and has a full charge.
check your bulbs and the connections.

hi. probably not 35w ballast is what i need. going have the relay harness replace and see how it run. If the new relay harness fail to turn on all fogs, then it possible the 55w ballasts need replacing. Thanks to everyone for thier help in this thread!!! :dblthumb:

hmm.. what is actual CCA for your car? I have 2009 sedan and I have no idea what the factory battery CCA rated.
