I use a single cell 1800 mah LiPoly battery to power my CHXL (essentially an RCEXL) ignition. It weighs a fraction of the weight of a NIXX battery and it runs fine at the lower voltage. Check out the CH ignition web site for tests that Bill has done on ignition function vs. supply battery voltage.
Except in rare occasions you can't hand start an engine with stock ignition.
