By far the only one I've liked for years...

McDaniel RC/SonicTronics twist-lock style.

They LAST practically forever as well.

How does the 12-14.4v output have low current for the igniter? You can limit current draw with a resistor between the supply and load, for example, but that's going to lower voltage at the same time.

Regarding the battery example: The difference between an A and D battery is capacity. If you put a 100mAh load, for example, on an A or D battery, it's going to draw 100mAh from either.

Basically, you can put voltage to a circuit, meaning you can put 110v to anything you want (for better or worse, lol). But you can't really put current to a circuit, you can only limit the draw.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just confused by your explanation.

The voltage on the tip of the glow ignitor is 12v-14.4v i measured it with the voltage meter so in order to keep it from burning up i suppose they use some kind of low current supply.
You are right about the glow though...it does draw as much current as it needs...the only case my "case" would stand is when the draw is very high and the smaller battery can't keep up with it which is not the case here.
I guess the plug draws anywhere from 5-10A/h, so there shouldn't be any difference.
My mistake here!!!

The last glow plug igniter I bought since 2007.

+1 I have two magnums with GP3300 cells. The cells were no longer good for racing, but have lasted for over a year in the ignitors.

power panel ignitors are nice

out of all the Ingnitor's ive had ......the best one has been the Cheepo venom...My Lhs got a supply of them with meter's that did not work...so they sold them for 5$ a peice.....ive got about a dozen.....1/2 still in the packaging.....they are only 1500mah Nicad's....but they seem to outlast even the Fancy Racer's Edge 4200 Ignitor's....for the price i couldn't complain...and being Lime Green....they are pretty easy to spot on buddy's pit table when yours has mysteriously disappeared from your table.

Team magic stuff in the states score
Just ordered 2 AA TM igniters was going to order 2 Sc ones but figured i would ask if anyone knows any promo codes ??

My Losi starter box isn't using the two banana plugs on side of the box because I am running Lipo batteries. I was thinking of wiring a high capacity 1.2v Nimh pack to those connectors and running the glow ignitor off of those rather than the through the power panel. I posted a thread on here a while back about the Ofna power panel I have, it still puts out 12v when connected to a gel cell. I decided it wasn't worth destroying glow plugs over so I abandoned it. But now I'd like to use that glow ignitor with a small separate batter in the box.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. You could use multiple cells wired in parallel for even more capacity.

So is a glow ignitor that runs on AA batteries any good??
