Has anybody had experience with AA powered glow igniter?

I lost 3 glow igniters so far and is now looking for a cheap one on Ebay and came across this:

How well do these work? I don't mind changing the battery often as long as it can start my engine

That should be plenty considering most ignitors only use 1.5 volts (those two cells in that configuration will be putting out 3 volts) and most Ni-MH celled ones use only 1.2V.

And I would go with the Hobbico hot Shot, Super or original. I have the original one (1500mah batter) and I love it!

How do you lose glow plug ignitors

We always share igniters among friends and at the end of the day, I always forget to pick it up and ends up lost. Next time, I ask them where my igniter went, no body knows

I've always used a D-Cell Ofna ignitor. I've had the same one for 8 years and it's never given me a problem. Some of my buddies use the AA ignitors and they work fine, but they have to replace the battery more often. Every rechargeable ignitor I've used has only given me a season or two of service, then kicked the bucket.
