Default glow plug ignitor problems

I have a losi glow plug ignitor thats only a couple months old and it worked great. Yesterday I went to drive my trucks and the ignitor was heating the plug up. I put it on charge the night before I wanted to go out . So I know it had to have been charged unless the battery crapped out on it. After getting mad about the ignitor I went to my lhs to get another ignitor but he was out of the normal ones I use but he had a Kwik-klip II X-long
I could use . I bought that and some gator clips thinking I could hook it up to my bump box . Ilooked at my bump box and got stumped on how to hook it up . Can anybody offer up some advice or possible pics if you have done the same thing <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">

If you have this, you need a power panel. Glow plugs don't take 12v..

If that the glow plug you have then you need a 1.5 volt battery like this to use it.

I have one as a spare and the battery has lasted me almost 2 yrs.

Or if you want it to work off the starter biz then the power panel mentioned above will do the trick just fine.
