Default Tell me how long did it take you to charge your glow starter the first time?

Tell me because mines don't seem to be working ... I've pluged it for about 2 hours and I tested the battery and it gives 1.35 and in the back of the box it's ritten at least 12 hours is that right? Or is there something wrong with it?

Any battery you charge; the first charge always takes awhile. 12 hours doesnt seem that odd. I would charge it by the directions that came with the charger. If you dont let it charge completley the first time around it will be tough for it to hold a good charge for the life of the battery.

The charger that comes with glow ignitors is a trickle charger. It takes about 12 hours to fully charge one for the first time and anytime you run it flat. If you get a good peak charger you can charge it faster but charging slower is always much better for the battery.
