A plastic mount with mounting screws is included to facilitate mounting onto field box. It's nice to mount the Kwik-Start so it is handily accessible during engine starting procedures.
Keep in mind that the flange which locks the ignitor into place is 1 1/8" long. It will work on engines with normal cylinder heads, but it will not work on engines with tall heatsink heads such as those found on the NORVEL Vmax helicopter engines or on typical RC car engines. Du-bro part 668 is available for those who require a unit with a longer flange.
The 1300 mAh NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) Battery provides plenty of power to light the glow plug. And it can be recharged many times. AC charging unit plugs into regular 110 V wall socket and has built-in LED to indicate that charging is in progress. Charging takes approximately 10-14 hours.
The ignitor locks securely to the plug by way of a spring loaded flange so that it cannot be accidentally knocked into props or gears.
