Default RE: Ceramic Igniter and ECU battery

I started also having this "Low Battery" issue with a returned from repair Super Eagle that was sent back to me with the ceramic plug and a brand new Duralight 5200mha Ion battery. I only have about 6 flights on my new plane plane and this is driving me nutts. Love the ceramic plug when it works. Mine was sporatic and would start sometimes ok but not at other times. After thinking it was something wrong with the rest of the electronics I discovered if I did a glow test it would simply jump out of the menu and not even give me the chance to turn off the test in the data terminal. That's how I finally figured out what was casuing my problems. This afternoon I have pulled the ceramic plug from the plane and went back to a standard plug until I can get this resolved. Anybody that has come up with a work around let me know. This is a brand new Li-ion pack and the voltage reading on the terminal said 8.4 volts..

Thanks!

Mike
