It may not be a world record, but not bad. The Ignitor AAA Alkaline battery died yesterday, from Dec 25th 2014. Clearly marked " not for retail sale". I did not even know it had a battery, thanks google. But why can't I buy these OEM batteries? oh retail would not make any money from me.
It was down to 0.71 volts but still worked the day before. Maybe 700 starts over the time.

My Baby Q is a 2011 vintage and the piezo ignitor decided to ride on ahead many moons ago now so just use a gas lighter. Easy.
