Glow Plug Igniter Products. Good or not?

[redhatman]

hey, I am looking for a rechargable glow plug igniter and I came across an rd logics one like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34062&item=5977621098&rd=1#ebayphotohosting It has a 1.2v 1700mah battery and it comes with a charger. Has anyone used this one before? Or could someone tell me if this would be a good one? Thanks

-P.S. I am currently using a standard D size battery, nonrechargable glow plug igniter.

I also just came across this one. 1800mah and it is overall cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2565&item=5977943390&rd=1

Normal alkilines stink for glow heaters. They just don't allow for the massive current draw that makes a glow plug good and hot.

At least your looking into a rechargeable one. The difference for me was night and day.

yea, so even though these are only 1700-1800mah, it will still work good and a lot better than my non rahchargable one? Thanks

my glow drivers use a 1300mah battery and they work fine..........a 1700-1800mah battery will just hold a charge longer......

 

[redhatman]

oooo, so the mah is how long the power is held... I thought that was how long it could hold, and the power.

 

[Nitrobuzzard]

volts are the same, regardless of Mah.......1.2v on any single rechargeable cell (in this category)

I have some ignitors on sale - a 1800 and a 3000 with meter

The larger the the higher the battery mha the longer and stronger the unit works.

 

[redhatman]

does the meter tell you how much battery is left on it?

 

[RushRC]

No, not really it just lets you know if you got a good connection and how strong it is. If the thing points to green all systems go, now the closer to red may be an indication of lower battery charge. If in red either the plug is no good or the battery needs charging

on this one, http://www.rushrc.com/shop/index.ph...=10671&zenid=07e96bb97f63c9e5294681f15cc8539e if the battery is not fully down, and I charge it. Is it a peak charger or will it overcharge?
