Default RE: glow starter

Larry-

I've been hearing about those 2.5 amp lead gel cells a lot lately, there was a long thread about them on the SAM email list.

Where do you get yours and are the re-chargeable or not.

I took a little time and figured out the circuit to get a 2.0Vout or 1.5Vout, pretty simple little thing, 3 resistors and a switch. If you have a drawing of the way yours is wired up I'd love to check my work.

I really need to try another avenue for right now. I had a Du-Bro Kwik Klip that worked alright till I lost it at one of the NC SMALLS Fly-Ins, then I got the Sullivan/Model Products one with the meter (thinking that the glow clip they make is so great the rest of their stuff must be alright to). The first battery died after the first re-charge and the second one puts out 1.0V and has a hard time lighting ANYTHING!

I have a double D cell holder that works good and I also have one of those Hobbico 2.0V Cells with the terminals on top. That works pretty great too.

was just hoping for something that wasn't disposable


thanks-
