Hmmm I'm using a 1600 mAh igniter now... which barely lasts a 5 hour day at the field.
So I may get a week of continuous use with that one... I don't consider this bad at all!
2 charges a year? I don't think so.
Can't address your problems with your current ignitor but I'm only reporting what I have seen and used first hand.

Give it a try or keep on charging.
