Mark, you're lucky GAP have taken measures to make the IID check the voltage - otherwise you could have had a failed flash and potentially downed the ECU. The IID itself doesn't draw much current, but leaving the ignition on for a while does give quite a draw.
Make sure you have a healthy battery before attempting to flash any ECU (including the CCF). Read the manual, and as above, additional power from another vehicle or a charger in a smooth supply mode (a normal charger is not suitable) is even better.
