I tested several plugs today, this is by no means scientific as they are all junkyard pulls. I setup a battery measuring 13.02v (LiFePO4) with 12 gauge wire going to each plug. Each picture is after 10 seconds counted in an oh-so-very scientific one-one thousand, two-one thousand method. I tested 2 Beru and 3 Diesel RX plugs. 3 Diesel RX because one glowed for a couple of seconds and then died. The second DieselRX plug I tested worked, and then popped, spitting glowing metal at me. I'd never run a DieselRX plug in my truck. The Beru plugs clearly outperform the DieselRX plugs, they heat up faster, they glow brighter, they don't send metal flying at you or inside your engine.
I'm sure this experiment could be improved upon, however this is basically the same thing as using a manual glow plug switch. Battery type shouldn't matter, resistance is resistance and the glow plug is getting fed the same current it would from a lead acid. New plugs out of the bag obviously would be the proper way to try this.
The first is a Beru - measured .8 ohms beforehand
The second is a Diesel RX - Measured .7-.8 ohms
The above DieselRX plug popped after 10 seconds.
Second Beru plug, measured .5 ohms
The last DieselRX plug, measured .8 ohms
