I was just thinking--the lousy "starters" could result in new 12-volt "hot-wire" nichrome igniters and ignition systems. Today's new high-capacity rechargeable batteries would make such ignition systems practical and portable, not needing to be "chained" to big lead-acid car and motorcycle batteries (but for "drive onto/up to flying field" situations, the classic 12-volt launch controllers [and DIY 'clones' of them] are perfectly usable), and nichrome wire, for making the igniters, is readily available.
