i use one of these. i don't run electric so it's all i need. does every type of battery. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...rger-6S-5A-50W |
Ok but what i am trying to ask is. Is it good or bad to charge the glow igniter from half charge, I know if you use a peak charger it will stop automatically but isn't it still bad?

to give you an example. i will use mine one weekend, let it sit all week and then charge it up for the next weekend. then it will sit for 3 weeks and the do same thing next month. occasionally i'll discharge it. |
Ok so how often should i discharge it, like every 3 months?

So would it be good to just give it a charge after use (I mean only when it starts to die but if i am going to the track the next day i'll give it a charge even if it is 3/4 charged) and then like every 3 months discharge it and then charge it up.

Just charge it the night before you need it, don't worry about discharging all the time, just occasionally when you get the chance or something, your worrying about it to much.
