Default RE: Need new glow starter - AA, SubC, C or D Cell?

I just don't see the need to use LiPo or to get carried away with a glow driver. If you're killing a NiMH or NiCd in a few hours or within one day, something's wrong. I run cars and airboats and soon a couple planes and I have yet to kill a driver battery, even during engine break-in. My NiCd driver batteries are over 5 years old and one will glow a plug hot enough to burn my finger after 5hrs of use. Maybe I got some 'super' sub-c cells. Hell, they're only 1600MAh even.
