Ziggy122 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 i found continually short charging my ignitor cooked it Doing it once or twice wont be as bad, but remember it wont last as long I'd say try a 4 hour charge really to get anything okay out of it However once your done, do put it back on charge for the full charge time Lets just sort ur terminology out as its getting hard to read Glowplug = The little coil that u put in the engine Ignitor = The device u put over the glowplug to Heat it/glow Glow Charger = The device used to recharge the IGNITOR Right U cant start a model without a ignitor, as u need to coil to glow to get it to start the combustion cycle off Hope this helps Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan_h_1995 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 read your manuel itll tell you in there ye but only the instructions you got with the glow starter if you read the instructions you got with the car it wouldn't tell you anything because it depends on the ouput and input of the charger and the battery Mah nath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six2 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ya know iv been thinking about this as mine was flat after about 20 min, fair enough it was a first start on a new car and it was a pig to start, i was wondering if theres a Ignitor out there that ya can plug into ya cig lighter in the car and ya get a instant Ignitor, its only the same as ya cig lighter and its 12v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenc93 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) I had the same problem but mine was too much use i had and still have a puney little HPI racing glow starter ataround 1800 mAh but paid 20 quid for a 4500mAh which lasts me a whole day of starting but takes 12 hours for a full charge. i carry both around with me at all times This is the one i have that is 4500 mAh http://www.jespares.com/radio-controlled-m...lowstarter.html really worth the money ALso there are quick chargeres and instant ignitors have a habbit of blowing your glow plugs alot as most glow plugs run off a max of 1.2v Edited December 29, 2007 by allenc93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
