Default Glow Igniter

I'm new to Nitro vehicles and have a question for those who have been doing it for sometime. I'm going to be breaking in my Savage XL tomorrow and was wondering how many starts can you get out of a fully charged glow igniter?

yup it will last a while

So no you dont have to charge it after single use

But everyday you use it charge it over night so it will be full the next time you go to use it!

If its the igniter that uses a separate cell or rechargeable kind? The ones with a alkaline cell last a lot less than the rechargeable ones do. I've seen that kind only able to do a few starts before pooping out and needing another alkaline cell.

Part of how long a rechargeable one lasts is how big the batt is - this one will last more than a solid week of running every day, many times a day -
