  • Glow Igniter/ Starter Discharge Question

    Hi, how do i use my charger to discharge a glow igniter? i think it's a 1.2v nicd.
    What low voltage do i need to set my charger to for discharging?
    i want to cycle it.
    thanks

    I woudn't bother cycling it if its only your glow igniter mate. It's only a single cell so easy enough to replace when it eventually dies. Mine is 4 years old, has never been cycled and is still going strong

      it's a sealed unit so it means i have to buy the whole thing.

      if i want to discharge it tho... can anyone tell me what the settings should be?

        What charger are you using? Some of them have a cycle setting for Nicad/nimh so you should be able to use that.
