IMHO, a simple 1.2V NimH or NiCd D-sized cell (4 Ah - 10Ah) cell with solder tags soldered to a simple [link=http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=DUB337/101.0.5161.5219.0.0.0]DuBro No 337 Kwik Klip[/link] glow plug connector using the supplied 30" cable (which can be shortened to suit) is about the ideal solution.
I previously used a 12 V starter battery with a power panel and a Sullivan starter. Nowadays my equipment has been reduced to the above glow igniter and a chicken stick.
