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.

maybe with a nicad battery. but with nimh it's ok. just discharge it every so often.

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.

yeah that's the go. don't charge it up until you're going to use it again. my ignitor has a 2700mah nimh battery in it and i can get a weekends racing out of it. but if your motors not tuned right and you have to use you ignitor more you may not get that runtime.
