How do you charge your glow plug ignitor?

Question

How do I charge my glow plug ignitor? I know this sounds stupid but like mine is the one where you have the ac adapter I put that into the wall then the end of the ac adapter theres a pointy thing, i pulled down on the glow plug ignitor and i stuck it in the hole then pulled back up on the glow plug ignitor to keep it in place, did i do this right? also....for nitro rc maintenance, I have the toolset, trinity after burn oil, extra glow plugs, and a can of air which I also use for my computer, is this good for my RC too? I'm a newbie, I bought a Lamborghini Gallardo 1/10. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220248637245&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=012 any extra tips are helpful

Yes it sounds like you did it right, there should be a light telling you it's charging, unless you got a cheapy.

Cool car, and those plugs will do nicely, there really isn't a difference that's worth paying for, some people would argue about that, but I have not noticed any difference.

It could be dirty or you don't have it down enough, put on the charging thing like you would on a glow plug, it should lock on there.

Sorry didn't see the second part of your question.

Yes, charge it for 5 hours, most chargers shut it off, some will leave the light on anyway.

But the it will keep trying to charge it to the maximum, I've never heard of one over charging.

But the charger will keep the battery hot/warm, and that's not really good for the battery, it will kill it's life span.
