I have the same glow ignitor as the one in the link above except it has a 3300Mah battery instead of a 4400mAh. I haven't used the charger that came with it so I can't comment on how well it charges, it last all day for me so the 4400 should last even longer when charged properly. I have been using it since last may, the meter on the cap isn't all that accurate but then again I didn't think it would work all that good when I bought it so I can't really complain about that. The cap does seem to be cheaply made like rcnitrohead stated.

How have you not charged it? Does it have a battery in it? If so what kind is it?

I didn't say I didn't charge it, I said I haven't used the charger that came with it. I use a MRC Super Brain 977 to charge all of my batteries. Mine come with a 3300mAh sub-C size NiCd Battery the one in the link comes with a 4400
